	Warrior mages have developed a "map" of planar correspondences, which consists of ~~ermutations~~ of magical patterns and summoning rituals rendered in graphic form, that allows them to access the elemental planes. This is commonly depicted as a star with the "base elements", water and earth, at the bottom points, the "energetic elements", air and fire, in the middle and the "sublime" element at the peak. For some operations, such as when referencing the [[Voidspell]], the star is inverted into a pentacle. Of particular interest is the fact that the Plane of Electricity does not neatly fit into this scheme. The invocations required to access the Plane of Electricity exist entirely outside the symmetrical patterns that are used to access the other planes. This has lead to speculation that there are other elemental planes to be found in a second ring of elements.

	A reconfigured elemental typically has its' origins in one of the elemental planes but that is generally restricted to existence on the [[Plane of Abiding]] and therefore is not afforded the ability to transfer planes.

Irrespective of origin, all Reconfigured elementals have been altered by the process that summoned or created them and no longer exist in a state that is native to one of elemental planes.
