Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Air - The Elemental and its Spells
Air is one of the five metaphysical elementals of classical philosophy and alchemy. The elemental Air is dominant in and thus strongly associated with:
- Gases and air
- The sky and space
- Breezes, winds, whirl winds, and tornados
- Things that are very light weight
- Things that are white or clear
- Flying mystical creatures (e.g., gryphons, hippogryphs, and phoenixes)
- Flying animals including birds, bats, and flying insects
The Alchemical Symbol for the Elemental Air
Air wands are made from materials, one or more of which have the elemental Air. Air wands are particularly good at strengthening and focusing air spells. Some of the most common air spells include spells intended to:
- Create, control, and extinguish winds, clouds, fogs, and mist
- Control, forecast, and be immune to the effects of the weather
- Create, control, and destroy poisonous gases
- Create, control, and extinguish smells and sounds
- Cause suffocation
- Enable someone to survive without breathing or when breathing poisonous gasses
- Transform one gas into another
- Improve vision, both natural and supernatural, including clairvoyance (seeing hidden or distant objects) and divination (seeing the future)
- Find lost people, animals, and things
- Improve hearing, both natural and supernatural (e.g., clairaudience)
- Improve communication including telepathy of thought and emotion
- Levitate things
- Fly through the air, either directly or via the animation of flying brooms (or besoms as they were often called by your great grandparents) and magic carpets
- Control flying animals such as birds, bats, and flying insects
- Transform flying animals into other things
- Protect people, animals, plants, and objects from the effects of strong winds
