[@ScreenAcne] We're counting spells, and Manifests require an artifact to cast magic -- so they can only cast the magic allowed by that artifact, in that specific form?

Manifest mages can only cast their own element. A normal manifest can use spells from an artifact but only if its artifact of their own element.

ops. repeated myself there. Sorry, tired.

the core here is. If something is related to your element, be it magic, an artifact or a skill. As a manifest of it, you can be sure to be attuned to it.
