Arthur continued speaking, his voice steady and clear. "The darkness element is about order. It is the force that brings structure and harmony to the world around you. Darkness can take on the aspects of other elements, except for the light element. Light is the opposite of darkness—it transforms chaos into order. The darkness element is the foundation of the elements, the shadow that binds them all together. When you channel darkness, it does not distort or change the natural flow but amplifies it in its purest form."
He paused before moving on. "By applying fire magic, your spell can be as hot as the sun. Fire represents destruction and transformation, and when combined with darkness, it intensifies the energy, turning it into a fiery force that can scorch anything in its path. The fusion of darkness and fire creates an unstoppable force, capable of both illuminating and consuming everything around you."
Arthur's tone shifted slightly. "When you add earth magic to darkness, your spell can become as strong and resilient as an enchanted shield. Earth represents stability and fortitude, and when blended with darkness, it creates something unyielding. It is no longer just shadow—it becomes a barrier, a solid force of defense, something that can stand strong against the most vicious attacks and protect all that it shields."
He looked around to make sure his point was clear. "Next, we have water magic. When you combine darkness with water, your spell can become formless and shapeless, like a stream of liquid shadow. Water is fluid, always adapting to its surroundings, and when merged with darkness, it takes on the ability to flow around any obstacle, to change shape, and to be as elusive as the very currents of the ocean. It becomes a magic that is difficult to control but incredibly versatile."
Arthur then smiled slightly, continuing. "And finally, air magic. By combining darkness with air, your spell can become as swift and elusive as the wind. Air represents movement and freedom, and with darkness, it can be manipulated into a force that moves faster than the eye can see. It can dodge attacks, swirl around enemies, and strike with precision, just as the wind can blow without being caught."
He took a moment to let the words sink in. "But remember," he added, his expression turning serious, "while darkness can blend with all the elements, it can never merge with light. Light thrives on order, while darkness seeks chaos. You must always strive to maintain that balance when wielding the darkness element, or you risk losing yourself to the very order you seek to control."
