Element is a distinct spiritual energy present in all things, ranging from the sun to plant life, as well as within human beings. By channeling element, one is capable of performing miraculous powers, such as moving objects with mindpower or slightly enhancing physical attributes. Usage of specialized mediums such as Maken are also dependent on element.
Those who can successfully channel element are known as Ability Users. In the distant past, ability users were once worshipped as gods by the people. Over time people grew envious of the power wielded by ability users, developing a strong fear and hatred towards them. As a result, ability users were hunted down and killed. Eventually the ability users formed an organization in order to prevent continued hostilities, using special memory manipulation techniques to conceal the existence of their kind.
