Chapter 4: The Ways of Battle


    To become a true warrior, mastery over an element wasn’t enough. There were four primary ways to use elements in combat, and each fighter had to find their own style.


    1. Weaponization – Forming weapons made purely from their element (e.g., creating a sword of fire).

    2. Coating – Layering an element onto an existing weapon (e.g., Kaya coating her swords with water for sharper strikes).


    3. Discharge – Projecting their element as an attack (e.g., Luke launching Lightning Bolts or Mount creating Air Strikes).


    4. Creative Applications – Special techniques developed through training, unique to each fighter (e.g., Ross’s Scorch Smash or Luke’s Lightning Strike).


    Each warrior in the tournament would have their own interpretation of these techniques, making battles unpredic


    table and deadly.
