Air (element)
- "I hear people talk of whether the rainy season or the sunny season is preferable. Me, I am partial to the subtle beauty of the windy season—the waving grass, the whispering trees, the invisible but very real caress of Mother Nature…"
Air (scientific notation: Ae) is third of the six Base elements of the Dwaian realm. It is marked by low density, flexibility, compressibility, and the tendency to scatter everywhere, as well as a nice minty taste. It is essential in animal biology, where it serves as a catalyst for bodily reactions. Air has its own class of Magics, sometimes called the Aeromancies, though the scientific literature calls it "blowing really hard".
The following is a table of the six elemental Aspects, and how they congregate with Air to form new elements:
| Aspect | Air Ae |
|---|---|
| Death | Zyklon 🅱 Ae† |
| Life | Breath Ae∲ |
| Regression | Braps Ae↓ |
| Progression | The Cloud Ae↑ |
| Ascension | Pomf Ae⧺ |
| Ultimation | Succ Ae♯ |
The elements that are based on Air — Pomf, Zyklon 🅱, Breath, Burps, The Cloud, and Succ — carry similar properties, especially in their gaseousness.
Air traditionally carries with it the association of Wisdom, as well as all things that are fleeting.

Actually I think all of them do.
