Elementite ("element stone") describes a class of gemstones believed to be able to contain a limited, calculable amount of 'elemental' forces. There are a great many types of elementite, each of them able to absorb a specific element and made of a different material and thus color; padparadscha for example absorbs and releases blood, topaz electricity, and so on. It is a type of enchanted gemstone in that peoples' beliefs that they absorb these energies gives it that property. The larger the elementite, the faster it can absorb or dispense their given element, and so the more powerful the effects that can be worked with it, and the more energy it can hold.

Absorption
It is believed to be charged merely by being in contact with the element it can absorb, or in some cases (such as fire/heat, lightning, cold), being anywhere near the element. The larger the elementite, the more its "pull" on the element, such that say a light elementite can, if large enough, pull all light toward it, appearing as a black hole and distorting all the light around it, even darkening the vicinity.

Applications
This attractive property of elementite means that it can be worn on clothing to provide protection against their matching element, ie. any electric spell directed at a person wearing topaz will only charge up the topaz instead of striking skin and potentially causing injury.
