here are a few excerpts from my early writings of the novel to show an example of how the elemental energies are used on Sentrance.

Excerpt 1: [i]Akarious’s voice was a whisper as he replied with pause“...I merely did what my clan leader ordered”
“Ordered? You didn’t have to attack them, you could have refused” Telvaxious’s eyes burned with hatred “Enough of this”
The ground rumbled at his feet, as he broke several large stones from the cliff face behind him then altered their shapes into large spikes “Enough” he growled once more as the earthen spikes careened towards Akarious’ communication orb. They slammed into the orb and a few moments later several spikes erupted from the ground beneath the hovering orb and finally a large slab of rock crumbled down from above and completely encased the orb.
“You old fool” were the only words to escape the earthen tomb surrounding the orb before it vanished. Telvaxious spat on the ground as he turned his back on the orb and slowly made his way down the cliff towards the camp. Akarious had only opened a link to contact him, a simple feat for any of the elder elementals but none the less, there had been a feeling of some satisfaction in destroying the orb just as though he had destroyed a piece of the Fire Elemental’s clan.[/i]


 Excerpt 2: [i]The large cat like form of Silveria, the leader of the Water Elemental Clan paced back and forth in the center of the river as she curiously watched the green light fade away to nothing once more “What was that?” she  muttered to herself before turning to her followers. Torrents of water swirled beneath her paws as she approached the waiting clan. “There’s a large water fall further up the river that will lead us right to a lake below the earth clan’s current encampment according to Vehltaria’s scouts,”  she informed the clan raising her paw. A column of water slowly rose out of the river and soon after, a whirlwind of breeze seemed to stir out of all directions as it spiraled around the top of the water column and a pair of white orbs manifested within the small cyclone as it danced on top of Silveria’s column.
“Vehltaria, we will soon be in position to climb the water fall. What’s the status of the Earthen Clan?” She asked as she met the glance of the Air Elementals’ clan leader.[/i]

Excerpt 3 [i]Brilliant shades of blue erupted about her as if she would explode as she thought of the day when she would actually see the great Genaceous in full manifestation and they could finally talk face to face. Amidst all of her excitement, the shallow pools around her had frozen solid in response to the release of her elemental energies without her realizing it and Genaceous chuckled once more
“See Daedra; see what you have done to the pools of water that you were gazing into earlier!”
As she turned and saw the frozen pools she squealed with delight “Wow, I really did that didn’t I?”[/i]

Excerpt 4: [i]An eerie stillness had encompassed the earth clan encampment as the night dwindled and another moon waned behind the next thus signaling the night would soon come to an end. A host of gentle gusts of breeze had been pulsating downward for most of the night and continued to encircle the entire camp as the lullaby of the night held even the most restless minds at peace in their slumbering.
Deuce had long since fell asleep on the same ledge Telvaxious had retreated from earlier. Now the camp lay slumbering, from the youngest of clan members to the elders themselves.[/i]

Hope they help a bit
