			====Warrior Mages====
⚫	It depends on the overall climate, the season, the time of day and severity of weather. The variability ranges from +/-10% of the mana normally available in the room.
			All [[:Category:Warrior Mage spells\|Warrior Mage spells]] are affected by Elemental Efficacy.

			====Bards====
			All [[:Category:Bard spells\|Bard spells]] from the [[:Category:Elemental Invocations spellbook\|Elemental Invocations spellbook]] are affected by Elemental Efficacy. Bard spells outside of the Elemental Invocations spellbook are not affected even if they mention one of the elements in their messaging. E.g. Because it is in the [[:Category:Emotion Control spellbook\|Emotion Control spellbook]], [[Faenella's Grace]] is not affected by air magic efficacy even though the messaging indicates that you are using elemental air when casting the spell.

			===Effect===
		⚫	The strength of the effect depends on the overall climate, the season, the time of day and severity of weather. The variability ranges from +/-10% of the mana normally available in the room.

			*Aether magic is deeply tied to the Plane of Abiding and is the least understood of the elements. As a result, most of its practitioners operate more from practical experience and careful measurements than extrapolation from a unified theory.
			*Air magic is favorable in outside areas where wind is plentiful. Practitioners excel in the afternoon, Spring and in stormy weather and languish while indoors or during the Summer months.
			*Electrical magic is favorable in stormy, tropical conditions. Practitioners find the most success in the Spring and Summer months, the later part of the day and reach their full potential during heavy rainfall. It is less effective indoors.
			*Earth magic depends on solid ground, preferably unworked. This leads to a very predictable and reliable form of magic.
			*Fire magic is favored in hot, dry conditions. Practitioners are cautioned to avoid moist, humid conditions and large bodies of water.
			*Water magic is subdivided into two branches, depending on how the practitioner is attempting to manipulate the water in question. Most water spells work best around plentiful, cold water though some favor humid, tropical conditions instead.
