Traits

What falls under this trait:

• For plumii: The essence inside the crystal takes the form of one of the elements: liquid, plant, flame, smoke;
• For kazuli: The slime in the part of the body where the absorbed object is contained also contains essence, which looks like liquid, plant, flame, smoke.

Design Notes:

• Elemental essence can be one of four possible types:
  • Liquid - the essence takes on the appearance of a liquid. In this case, the essence does not completely fill the crystal;
  • Plant - essence takes on the appearance of vegetation, mostly leaves or sprouts;
  • Flame - the essence takes on the appearance of a flame. In this case, the essence can move to simulate combustion;
  • Smoke - the essence takes on the appearance of smoke. In this case, the essence can move, such as spinning, or temporarily become transparent.
• Basic essence:
  • "Basic essence" trait is specified by default in plumii or kazuli characters. The “Elemental essence” trait can replace “Basic essence” with Diamond tincture;
  • “Elemental essence” or "Basic essence" traits, must be present in every plumii or kazuli character for informational purposes.
• The essence, locator and crystal are colored the same. So the essence inside the kazuli's body is the same color as the slime and the locator.
• The type of essence affects the character's magical abilities.
• 11 august update: The crystal shell may be opaque, so the elemental essence may not be visible but will be present in the list of traits.
• 11 august update: If you have a working plumii, you need to first add elemental essence, using diamond tincture. Next, you need to create a claim, add diamond tincture to it, and attach a character to add magic to the character. The magic will correspond to the element of the essence. You don't have to redesign the character unless you don't want the elemental essence to be visible.

To add magic / elemental essence:

• For working plumii / omnivorous kazuli: 
  • Create a claim, attach diamond tincture and a character to it to add elemental essence. Be sure to specify the type of elemental essence you want;
  • If you want to add magic, create a claim, attach a character, and add a diamond tincture. The magic will correspond to the essence element;
  • You can add two diamond tinctures at once to avoid creating multiple claims and add both essence and magic.
• For a hybrid subtype:
  • Create a claim, attach a diamond tincture and a character. The magic will be added according to the grimoire. If the hybrid character consists of subtypes whose elements neutralize each other, the magic will be added as if it were a “working” subtype character.
• For all other subtypes:
  • Create a claim, attach a character, and add a diamond tincture. The magic will correspond to the character's body (subtype) element;
  • If you want combined magic, first add the elemental essence to the character. Create a claim, attach the character and two diamond tinctures. Specify the type of elemental essence you want. The magic will be added according to the grimoire.

Redesign Notes:

• This trait may be replaced with the “Basic essence” trait with diamond tincture.
