Story
THE MYTHOLOGY OF MAGIC
GODAI (Magic of the Five Elements)
The elements are the basis for life itself. Each individually possesses the power to create and to destroy. Each can cancel the other out or enhance devastation twofold.
Since the days of the Kodaijin, it has been known that the world is composed of five elements. The first four are the common elements, which comprise all that can be sensed, both physically and spiritually: Earth, Water, Wind and Fire.
The fifth element, Void, is the absence of the other four, and makes up the nothingness which fills the remaining parts of the world. It is said that every living thing is the product of these elements, and exists in a realm governed by their forces. Thus, anyone who controls these elements, controls the world.
The delicate balance of Elemental Magic must be maintained, its sacred powers carefully guarded. Only the mystics or masters, the great poets, healers, leaders and warriors of the land, have been able to tap into such power and keep its secrets.
They were the adepts in physical warfare who had achieved such harmony with the land that they could manifest its strength. Rare was the master that could tame all four realms of Elemental Magic.
But one such master arose, one whose potent magics and wise leadership were unparalleled. In line for the throne, he became King and Guardian of the Elemental Spirit. Wherever he went, nature flourished, the land became bountiful and the people were blessed. He soon had a fine heir. The baby boy was named Hiro.
HIRO
In the still of night, the Queen lays her newborn son in his crib as a shadow steals past the window. She looks up and sees...nothing. There is only silence...
...and then, a sound behind the wall, the telltale soft metallic song of a blade being carefully drawn from its scabbard. The King turns to seek out the source of the sound, only to hear several similar tones echo through the night just outside the paper walls. Quickly, he reaches for his own weapon, but it is already too late.
Mere moments pass to find the King's once peaceful home filled with chaos and violence. In his quest to gain power, Akunin, leader of the Void Ninjas, attacks and slaughters the King and Queen, laughing malevolently as he searches for the last family member. While both of the baby's parents lie lifeless in his wake, another shadow flies swiftly past the tiny boy's room.
Akunin closes in on the crib, confident this is the end of his quest and the beginning of a reign of terror such as the world has never known. Drawing back his shining blade, he prepares to strike...and finds the crib empty. A scream of defeat rends the night as Sho steals quickly away, protecting the precious secret. The young Prince is safe...for now.
Master Sho raises Hiro in the secrecy of the Sukoto Clan. Years of training with Sho provide the boy with a near-mastery of the sacred skills of the Sukoto: Taijutsu and the magic of the elements Earth, Wind, Water and Fire. During this time, Sho fills the role of Hiro's savior, mentor and father figure.
After years of searching, Akunin discovers the whereabouts of the Prince, now a young man, and his mentor. Returning to face the man who robbed him 20 years before, Akunin deals a deathblow and disappears, leaving Sho to die in Hiro's arms.
Barely able to breathe, the wise old man relates the tale of Hiro's birth and his parents' death, as well as the truth of his identity: Hiro is heir to the throne and keeper of the Elemental Guardian's power. With his dying breath, Sho warns Hiro of the impending danger of the powerful Dark Ninja, Akunin, whose only mission in life is to possess the power the Elemental Spirit, passed to Hiro.
The time has finally come for Hiro to avenge his family and face the forces of darkness alone. His mastery of the four elements is strong, but not yet powerful enough to face the fifth element: the Void. Now Hiro must become a Master of the Elements and complete the Trials of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire. Only then will he be ready to face the powers of darkness in the realm of the final element...the Void awaits.
MAGIC
As Hiro learns to control the Elements, he gains special magical abilities. Hiro's Melee Attacks can also gain the properties of the Elemental Magic used and become imbued with increased or reduced damage against enemies of a submissive or dominant Elemental Affinity.
For example, cast Fire Magic to create a Fire Blade. The Fire Blade causes extra damage when used against an Earth Ninja. This enhancement lasts only for a brief period of time.
Earth (Chi)
When the Element of Earth, or Chi, is brought under control, it represents the attitudes of strength and stability. Its possessor becomes like the mighty mountain, impenetrable to attacks.
Wind (Fu)
When the Element of Wind, or Fu, is learned, it grants its master the attitudes of protection and motion. Its user becomes like a current of air, repelling all that it opposes.
Water (Sui)
When the Element of Water, or Sui, is mastered, it conjures up the attitudes of healing and fluidity. Its keeper becomes like the majestic sea, returning to full vigor after the storm.
Fire (Ka)
When the Element of Fire, or Ka, is summoned, it calls forth the attitudes of action and expansiveness. Its wielder is like a raging inferno, becoming more dangerous with every strike.
Void (Ku)
Being the absence of all things, the Element of Void
