Magic Elements: Fire, Lightning, and Ice
Three of the four defining elements are present as summons within Spira. For a long time I considered them oddly placed. It was only through reflection that I feel that I've gained any understanding to them. I believe that Spira is stuck in a constant cycle of death due to a war that happened a millennium ago. This created Sin but it was not what created summoners or fayth. Still, based on the ideas of the war, I'm confused by how things in Spira went from machina (Bevelle) to summoners (Zanarkand). Then I got to thinking about how Sin probably destroyed a lot of homes, towns, and settlements which meant that people had to find alternate ways to live. It is for this reason that I believe that the defining elements are more geared to assisting Spirans in their daily lives. I feel that the fayth, while bound, are what helps to balance the abounding Death of Spira. I feel that the fayth give and preserve life.
