The Four Great Powers

The Elemental Magicians approach to magic is much like a Sorcerer, in that raw power is the preferred method of spell casting, as opposed to refining the same amount of power for maximum effect. Elemental magicians are concerned with, as the name suggests, the elements. The elements of concern are Fire, Air, Earth and Water. I will attempt to describe at length what the functions of these respective elements are, and the use of them in the Elemental system.
Unlike many of the other casting systems, there is no secret to the function of Elemental magic. Quite simply, it is harnessing the energy of a desired element and focussing it towards a physical manifestation.
As a quick addendum to the preamble: Keep in mind that the Elemental magic system described here (and throughout The Library of Knowledge) is literal. Fire, in this case, does not include things that are not related to physical fire (such as strength, aggressiveness, and other correspondences of fire associated with Enchanters).
