Back to Types of Elemenstors

Proto-Elemenstor

The rare few who discovered the art of High Elemenstation through the study of its Low sibling, the Proto-Elemenstors were trailblazers of genius, gift, and considerable madness.

There is little known about all but three, two from before Harbinger unlocked High Elemenstation through the Starborn Gem, and one during The Ending Times; consequently, little is known about their methoods, as each discovered High Elemenstation in their own way. The only consistency among the three was their jaw-dropping incompetence in every area except for elemenstation.

• Ijami The Freak, a cat lady who lived during The Wandering Age. When a coterie of Ninja approached her home, believing she held their target within her cat-drenched house, they dispensed with stealth and simply broke into her home. Ijami responded by uttering a single word and destroying the entire group (and a small mountain village down the road from her house) with an unrefined version of Catacaust. Besides this incident, Ijami never used Fire Elemenstation for anything but cooking, heating her house, and for giving her cats an unfair edge in cat-on-cat fights. It is unknown how she learned the power.
• Crazy "Mentally Unfit For Society" Gilhound, a former Sorcerer--then Low Elemenstor--who studied creatures that knew Lesser Elemenstation in nature by "blending in." His methood of blending in was to strip naked, rub himself in dirt and filth, and dwell among the beings and making chittering noises, no matter how civilized or non-chittery they were. Upon striking his first gear, he retreated even further from society to practice his newfound art. Two years later, he came out and declared that he had discovered High Elemenstation, only to be told that, in fact, Harbinger Portent discovered High Elemenstation a good year before he returned. Crazy refused to participate in the emerging Elemenstor culture, which led to his untimely demise when he entered a duel "with our mightiest magic!" with a student of Harbinger Portent, one Char Reyarteb; his Stalactite spell proved woefully inaedequate against Reyarteb's Midnight-Black Death to All That Lives.
• Simera Weed, a luckless teenager during the Ending Times. Having segued into catatonia due to a poorly-made plate of porridge eaten at 6, Simera woke up with the wisdom of Life Elemenstation burned into her brain. However, she also had the mentality of a 6-year-old, and refused to settle down for any reason. Sadly, she was later rendered unconcious after being struck in the head by an unusually agressive ambulatory broom, and woke up a day later with the knowledge of Dark Elemenstation and the mentality of an incredibly bitter 17-year-old. It took a slapdash group of warriors and sorcerers to take her down.
