Primal

When a spell refers to an “Elemental Force of the caster’s choice”, this means the spell can be customized to Air, Fire, Water or Earth. This changes the damage type of the spell: Fire deals Pyro damage, Water deals Cryo damage, Air moves targets and causes Impact damage if pushed into an obstacle, and Earth deals Impact damage directly.

Cause shapes, colours, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.
