O GOD I'M SO BONED. Ooooooo MAN.

Who's going to tell my grandmother that I'm dead? I barely know anyone else in this city! Heck, I'm only 19! 19, and I'm already going to join my parents in the afterlife. Aw man, I knew doing this was trouble! What with these crazy jobs and this crazy woman and this crazy city and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Elemain Lesson: Elemain Typing

Elemain has been extensively studied, with its many abilities and properties observed. People studying Elemain have been able to divide Elemain into four categories based on the type of ability it can perform: Manipulation, Psionic, Boost, and Form.


Manipulation
[INDENT]Elemain of the Manipulation type are able to affect the properties of nature in the external world. From heating and cooling to force and electricity, this type is able to manipulate these elements.[/INDENT]



[INDENT]Psionic
Elemain of the Psionic type are able to affect the properties of the mind, giving psychic abilities. These have ranged from clairvoyance to levitation and even mind reading. However, the Elemain used must be on the person in order for it to be used.[/INDENT]



Boost
[INDENT]Elemain of the Boost type are able to enhance the physical abilities of its wielder. Effects have included enhanced strength, agility, and even concentration over short periods of time.[/INDENT]



Form
[INDENT]Elemain of the Form type are able to change the chemical makeup of the object or wielder. This has allowed abilities of transformations, from attaining a natural iron skin to turning into a wolf.[/INDENT]


Elemain in its raw form is unstable and extremely unpredictable. However, people have found that when it has been processed and formed into tools, the nature of Elemain changes according to its type and the item it is bound to. This has caused an influx of Elemain craftsmen, turning Elemain into tools and fine jewelry. However, the power of the Elemain depends on a factor of familiarity. Those who spend more time using a certain tool or Elemain seems to be granted a mastery over abilities of the Elemain, even going as far as unleashing special abilities that could never be discovered without this familiarity. Scientists have called this Levels, which they have used to measure an Elemain's relative power and rank according to the ascending order:

C -> B -> A -> S

Where ranks A and S demonstrate mastery and unlocking of these special abilities. What is interesting is that when a tool is passed to another person, the Level of the Elemain remains the same. However, because of the dangerous properties of high levels, it is unwise for inexperienced users to handle a high Level Elemain tool.
