The power did indeed work. Upon saying its name, using it like any other Skill, a burst of wind would be launched from his palm, looking like a small, swirling wind. It did indeed work, but one of the six dots around the newest mark upon him was gone, meaning that the power only had five uses left before it expired and had to be renewed. The water one, if he tried it, worked as well, one of the six dots around the mark representing the water themed power disappearing, showing that it only had five uses left now as well, Lucian only having 68 MP left as using the powers did take a bit of MP despite their uses being limited. It was probably why these were only beginner abilities. 

If Lucian used Observe on any of the elementals to 'confirm if he was strong enough to take them as was', he would receive the following window displaying their information.

An air elemental, an ethereal being comprised of wind essence and air, of average strength, air elementals are the more balanced of the elementals. Is balanced in both offense and defense, but is also pretty quick and is quite intelligent. Physical attacks, due to their ethereal nature, will probably only be half effective. Thanks to the Elemental Relationships, fire is best used on these creatures and earth will only be half as effective. [/hider]

Ren and Saito were currently fighting their own elementals, Undine helping Ren fight. The one Ren was fighting was pretty low on HP, Ren looking like he hadn't taken too much damage, Saito having just destroyed his as he looked back to Lucian, quickly running over to him. "Bout time you woke up, its been about a few minutes or so, care to join us?"
