Enhancing

A magical art used by manipulating the elements of fire, water, wind and ground.

Enhancing abilities were first given to people who devoted all of their soul to the element. The older someone got, the harder it became to give soul power to the element, and thus the training for the enhancing ability is best to be started early. The first ground enhancer had their birth forced by the ground, the first fire enhancer had their future forced by the fire, and first wind enhancer devoted their life to the wind, and the first water enhancer submitted their life for the water.

Once the initial soul power is given to the element, the person cannot give it to any other element. Additional soul power can be given to the same element in exchange for a larger spirit energy capacity.

Spirit energy is what allows people to use their enhancer abilities. Spirit energy is like a battery that gets recharged when you don't use it. The maximum spirit energy of a person controls how long they can use their abilities or how intense they can make them, but are limited by how much soul power is given to the element.

Spirit energy can be suppressed with spirit pressure though, which increases indoors and underground. Spirit energy can be used to the maximum when in an open area. Giving too much soul power to the element causes the person to become less creative and unmotivated. This causes the strongest of enhancers to be lazy statues who view energy used to do anything but enhance the element wasted.

Those first four who were given the enhancing ability did not have to give up any soul power, thus they had all their motivation and creativity, but the maximum power of an enhancer.
