This skill allows you to imbue elemental materials with spell effects. This means that the material that you gave an elemental property to can now cause a spell effect. For example, if you grant some steel the elemental property of life, you could then give it the magical effect of lightening strike, allowing you to make a sword for example of that steel that causes lightening strike spell damage with a critical hit. The metal can only hold so many charges however. The amount of charges you give the metal is 1 charge per 2 Soul.

This ability allows you to improve your familiar. You can improve your familiars stats by using one of your level increase stat point rewards on your familiar as well as on you.

You may find it easier to give your familiar its own character sheet by this point.
