Fire surge
A player casts Fire Surge; the most powerful Elemental Spell currently available.

Elemental spells are the main combat spells of the standard spellbook. They are grouped into 5 categories of spells for the Standard spellbook, each requiring different elemental rune(s) to cast, and four in the Ancient spellbook. The elemental classes are as follows:

Each elemental class has a range of different spells. For the standard spellbook these are as follows (ascending power)

The range of different spells the Ancient spellbook are as follows (ascending power):

Under normal circumstances, there is a linear increase in power across all the spells; for example, the spell Fire Bolt is weaker than Wind Blast, which in turn is weaker than Water Blast. This can vary depending on different factors, such as boosts from equipment (see chaos gauntlets for a good example) or an enemy's vulnerability to a certain element.
