Description
Slightly redesigned (and in the case of Time, Void, Positivity, and Negativity, completely overhauled) the Aurora element symbols. As well, I decided to put down a bit of lore regarding the Elements and Magic in Aurora that I wrote down a while back.
-----------------
Contrary to popular belief, there are 14 Auroran elements (for the purposes of this argument, Water and Ice count as a single element), all of them governed by a certain spirit. All but Positivity and Negativity are governed by spirits created by Zaniel. Aether is the black sheep of the group, not being found in nature but rather as a combination of the minor elements, and with no governing spirit. So, like Pluto, it isn't considered one of the base elements.

Unlike the minor elements, the major elements, such as Time and Space, don't have any sub-elements, as attempting to break down foundations of a universe would likely just cause a massive migraine before it gave any real answers.-----
Most forms of magic in Aurora draw from the spirits of the seven minor elements, although few are able to harness the power of the major elements and in turn making much more powerful spells. The ultimate exception is Marigold and Phantom, as who you draw power from depends solely on the type of spirit one has. If the spirit of the user is clouded by negative emotion, their magic will be charged with Phantom's power. Conversely, if the spirit is clouded by positive emotion, their magic will be charged with Marigold's power. However, the most power lies in those that find a healthy balance, allowing the user to tap into both of them equally.

Those without the natural ability to harness magic can do so using shards of a spirit stone. However, they need to be careful to not put too much strain on their bodies using it, otherwise they could end up killing themself, literally exploding with the force of power going through their body. They will gradually adjust to controlling greater amounts, but they'll need to start small to avoid a premature death.
This training can be made easier using tools that are engraved with runes that are attuned to the user, which helps channel the mana from the spirit shard.
