Attribute

Elements (属性) refers to the eight different Elements that are the basis for Elemental Magic and Elementals.

5 Basic Elements
The five basic or natural elements with each being strong against one other element and weak to a different element.


 * Fire (火) is strong against Earth.
 * Water (水) is strong against Fire.
 * Wind (風) is strong against Water.
 * Space (空) is strong against Wind.
 * Earth (地) is strong against Space.

Light and Darkness
Light (光) and Darkness (闇) are two opposing elements, separated from the five basic elements. They are in balance and do not overpower the other.

Time
Time (時) is the strongest element, capable of overpowering all other elements.

Attributes
Individuals can be born with an attribute or affinity towards one or more elements. It is often easier to learn and master abilities that are in line with this element than other elements. If a user has multiple attributes most of the time one of them will be more dominant than the others.

Some beings change their attributes or acquire new ones later in their lives. An example of this would be Direwolfs which can gain a new attribute when evolving based on their environment. Being named can also change ones attributes to be more inline with the namer's attributes.

Elementals
Elementals are beings who embody a specific element. They come into being from either a large gathering of natural energy or as offshoots born from a higher elemental. Most Elementals embody one of the basic elements with Time being even rarer than Light and Darkness.

Holy and Demonic Attributes
Attributes separate from the other attributes, most likely derived from Light and Darkness. If a being has both, their attributes will change to the Chaos (Holy-Demonic) attribute.

Trivia

 * Sometimes combinations of attributes are combined and called a new attribute. An example would be the storm attribute that consist of water, wind and space.
