Element Stability

The stability of an element determines, in some ways, its predictability and docility. A stable element can more easily be controlled by magic and alchemy, while an unstable element is difficult to handle. For this reason, apprentices will often begin to study and test the elements of Water and Earth. Stability also affects availability of items linked to elements. Indeed, enchanted objects based on unstable elements are more difficult to create, and for this reason, they are more rare and expensive.
