Basically, the world Rosadan, a world of elves in a story I've been working on, has a gem that not only reflects the state of the world, but also the magics....

Top left is the forest magic, the magic of plants and animals yes, but it is said that the royalty can control the earth itself...

Top right: The fire elves. They represent passion and emotion...They are prokinetics, yes, but there is more to it than that. They can feed off of the fire's energy and make it their own among other things...They are rarely seen anymore after the last war....

Bottom left: The water elves. They respect the water greatly and are kind...but do not anger them. Few know of their ways.... All that is known is their abilities to control water....These elves, they can handle storms just fine. They can read the skies and water well enough to see what's coming in the future. That's just pure instinct when you've been on the water a bunch. Most of all, though, they have control over water and they can breathe it, too. They're excellent sailors, something I admire...

Bottom right: The Astral Folk. They are a mysterious people group, who often are the unseen advisers, the manipulators of history. They often seen normal during the day, but at night...they change. They became...spirit-like, and can manipulate things...They are often called the "Dream Walkers". Not a lot is known about them...

Direct center is the light elves. Elves so powerful, they could steal your life source as easily if not easier than the dark elves. They can enchant innocent outsiders to enter their deadly dance with their beauty. The Light Elves may be beautiful and graceful, but few realize just how much they might burn their enemies....literally....

Outside of direct center is darkness. The Dark Elves. They are odd...not even elvish, some say. They are powerful. Dangerous...Most of them aren't quite alive...They control the darkness, warp it, make it solid. But darkness also forms them...heals them...They are possibly one of the most dangerous elf types, and they are the most feared....
