Everything

Elemental Resonance starts with your affinity for a certain force or aspect of Nature – storms, animals, death, and so forth – and the ways in which you turn that affinity into action. In return, that force or aspect manifests itself in you… perhaps as elemental quirks, animal allies, or “primal” appearance and behavior which can be extremely helpful at certain times and extremely hazardous at others.

Despite the feel-good preconceptions about “being natu­ ral,” Nature can be a nasty bitch. As Coyote Ward says, typhus and hummingbirds both come from the same god. The dreaded death-Resonance Jhor is an aspect of Elemental Resonance; mortality, too, is Nature’s way. Elemental descriptions and manifestations favor certain types of animal or element. Fire-witches, storm-lords, earth-mothers, necromancers, beast-kin, wind-riders, air-heads, lightning-weaving electrodynes and

body-grafting biotechs… they all work with, and manifest, their associated Elemental energies.
