Origin[]
Empedocles was a philosopher who proposed the theory of the four classical elements. Earth, air, water and fire were thought to be the building blocks of all matter and different forms were created by the forces of love and strife. He also believed in the idea of reincarnation and jumped into Mt. Etna, thinking he would transform into a god.
Effects[]
Allows the user control over the four classical elements. They can move and shape each to their will, making them move by the user's accord. It also creates erratic behavior in the user, which may result in something regrettable.
