Explanation of the Elements ~ Element Specifics

Why The Wolves are Elemental:

Most of the elemental packs of Paragon have a particular land where their element is stronger. This is due to a "foci" on each elementally claimed land. This "foci" does several things for the wolves:

1. Gives them their unusual colors. The colors are a function of the element and thus is the main factor in causing their coats to be tinted in such ways. As the magic of the element flows around them, the coat picks up it's undertones and manifests in a response to better fit the element and to blend in. This is why you will never find a green fire wolf or a red air wolf. It simply isn't possible! (Coat colors are also slightly related to heredity, but only perhaps 25% at most.)
2. Gives them their abilities and charms.
3. Allows them the special bond with the element of their pack which give them their tie to their chosen 'gods' or 'spirits'. Charms and abilities are STRONGER when a wolf is in their own territory!

~ Grave things happen when a wolf leaves it's pack for long periods of time. The longer they are away from their elemental focus spot, the lesser their abilities are. They will even start to 'depigment' and return towards the normal coloration of a grey wolf (grey, cinnamon, black, brown often in variegations over the body) instead of the often vivid colors of their element. Thus, you may see a mostly grey wolf perhaps with only a few vague spots that might show a hint of green perhaps, should a Crithean stray out too far from their element.

24 hours away: Coat colors begin to slightly dim, becoming dull and lackluster.
24-48 hours away: Only able to call upon their abilities/charms 50% of the time. Coat colors are 50% diminished.
48-72 hours away: No longer able to call upon abilities or charms at ALL. Coat colors go back to that of a normal grey wolf, some color of the element may remain, but it is very muted and near impossible to see.

If a wolf strays too far from their element, it will take TWO WEEKS of time re-absorbing that element to become imbued with the traits and charms again.

~ This "loss of color/abilities" is known as Displacement, and there is a specific ritual that needs to be done for each element to become integrated within it's fold again. Thus, it is possible to "switch elements", however, one must then take part in the ritual after gaining acceptance from the Alpha of that particular pack.
