There needs to be a catalyst of sorts too, but that's very rare, not identifiable to the naked eye and very often, unintuitive. The whole idea is very rare, nature wasn't meant to exist in the form of the elements at all, so it is exceedingly uncommon. I just mentioned it as a possibility, but we'll almost definitely find a person.

@Audacious

Your point being that manipulation in the form of your elements is not similar to natural elements or other forms of manipulation?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We tend to be concerned if there's activity at all. But it can, and usually is, dangerous and needs to be managed before someone incapable of manipulating them gets themselves or others hurt. And that can happen at the smallest level... That said, a number of things could. A highly concentrated presence of an aspect of nature in a place where it isn't natural or forced can spawn elemental energy that then continues to grow as a self perpetuating feedback effect, for example.

@Audacious

The natural elements certainly aren’t rare by any means. And several disciplines channel those forces.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Or a natural phenomenon. Those do happen.

@Audacious

What phenomena would induce a concerning level of activity?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We’re looking for someone or something spiking activity of the elements in a certain area. With a good chance it’s who we’re looking for, but not guaranteed.

@Audacious

A rogue elements user?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t know where it is yet. But this guy does. Should be here any minute.

@Audacious

While we wait, do you have information on this mission?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We’re gonna meet up with a friend and check out a location.
*Glances around at the maps*
Buuut, not any of these.

@Audacious

*Glances between them*
Where did you have in mind, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Nothing important. Neat geological monuments and ruins, but they don’t really matter to what we’re doing.

@Audacious

Which is?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A knowledge crusade. There we go.
*Opens a door near us into a mostly empty room with some maps plastered on the walls*

@Audacious

What do these correspond to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

So is it out of obligation, ir is it really just that your curiosity is too strong?

@Audacious

If there is a fact that can be known, I intend to know it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Right. Well, tag along if you want. I’ll be there.
*Jumps through*

@Audacious
