Elemental Magic
Elemental Magic is a magic system mentioned in Monster Girl Encyclopedia I and Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide II: Mamono Realm Traveller's Guide, before given detailed description in Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide III: Sabbath Grimoire.
The magic system utilizes the power of elementals. Only the Four Great Elementals and Dark Matter are capable of forming contracts to grant the power of elemental magic<ref>WG2; Dark Elemental</ref>. There is no confirmed case of an elementalist successfully forming a contract with a demi-elemental, and while there are elementalists who visit the palace of ice in the Snowy Region, looking to make a contract with ice elementals<ref>MGE-2, The Palace of Ice</ref>, it's unknown if this is actually possible.
Guide Book Entry[edit | edit source]
The great power that makes up the world
Elemental Magic
Elemental magic is magic that controls the elements, which are the energy of the natural world. It's intrinsically difficult for humans to wield the power of the elements, but this system of magic allows for that by making contracts with “spirits”, beings formed of the elements of the natural world. It's possible to invoke extremely powerful spells that control elements corresponding to contracted spirits, i.e., the power of nature itself such as fire, water, wind, and earth, but one cannot use spells of attributes different than those of the contracted spirits.
As for spirits, there exist “pure spirits” which aren't monsters, “mamono spirits”, which are monsterized versions of them, and “dark spirits”, which are even more deeply corrupted by the dark element. The further their corruption progresses, the mightier the spirits' power grows. When forming a contract with a pure spirit or casting spells, incantations are done using a special language called “Spiritish”<ref>"Spiritish" is actually called 精霊語 seireigo in Japanese, which is the word for spirit with the language making suffix 語 -go added to it</ref>. Casting works by the contractor issuing commands to the spirit through incantations, while the spirit acts as an interpreter who calls out to the elements of nature, and the power of a spell depends on the concentration of elements in the land where it was used.
Contracts with mamono spirits or dark spirits are formed through sex between the contractor and the spirit. The elements accumulated in their bodies blend with mamono mana, and thereby adapt to their partner, the contractor, just like the spirits themselves, converting into something that can be directly used by the contractor. These elements are imbued in the contractor's body via sex with the spirit, enabling the contractor to use elemental magic without needing the spirit as an interpreter and making it highly effective regardless of the concentration of elements in the land. Furthermore, by spending lots of time together with a spirit, and making love countless times, the powerful bond that solidifies between the two will make it so that they can read each other's minds without even exchanging words, enabling the use of elemental magic with more intuitive control of the elements while omitting the process of issuing commands to the elements by chanting an incantation.
In this way, it is a powerful system of magic, but there are cases when the spirit may be unwilling to lend the caster her power depending on her mood, especially since mamono spirits get sulky if sex is neglected; it normally necessitates allocating as much time as possible to love-making. Additionally, it's terrible for combining different attributes. Not only would this require forming contracts with multiple spirits, each of them would attempt to make her own element stronger to indicate that her love for the contractor is deeper, so it would be terribly difficult to regulate the power.

Note[edit | edit source]
There is a minor contradiction between World Guide 3 and the earlier sources regarding the mechanism of elemental magic of pure elementals. With the earlier books state that elementals bestow their power upon their contracted elementalists<ref>MGE1; Greater Elementals, “Pure Elementals”</ref> who use the power instead of the elementals<ref>WG2; Pure Elementals</ref>, while World Guide 3 states that elementalists only giving command to contracted elementals and lacking ability to use the power by themselves.
