Magical elemental abilities permeate Kara-Tur. Lacing magic is separate and distinct from arcane magic, and most often appears as elemental attacks and what are called forms, which are special abilities that require precise movements and breathing to bring about shocking elemental effects. This section provides the rules for elemental attacks and initiating forms. Different character classes have distinctive ways of learning and initiating these forms, and monsters also have elemental abilities that they use in unique ways. Regardless of its source, all lacing follows the rules presented in this section.
