Exactly what I was thinking, on the Lumarian front. two leaver action Carbines firing flame bullets, to punch though shit. Of course, I understand the idea of it being magical. If you shot a Gorgon with a physical bullet, it'd piss it off, but if you shot it with a magical Fire bullet, it probably wouldn't even notice. And. Aether being a specific element, like Flame Aether, or Aquad Aether, or is it just Aether like Mana, and the actual person is what dictates which Element they are able to use?

There is non-elemental Aether that acts as physical lol. (Pretty much a resistance bypasser. i.e. "I resist all elements, but neutral with physical strikes most times." Well I know what will or can hurt you.)

But yes, there are elements specific races start with. Then ones that can be acquired. 

Note: guns will only be useful of single targets. That is a draw back, and you can't do too many incantations unless let's say someone synchronized with your channeling and casting.
