What do these correspond to?

@Legend

Nothing important. Neat geological monuments and ruins, but they don’t really matter to what we’re doing.

@Legend

We’re gonna meet up with a friend and check out a location.
*Glances around at the maps*
Buuut, not any of these.

*Glances between them*
Where did you have in mind, then?

@Fractured

*grabs into the earth, lifts up a massive chunk that I swing into you*

@Asce

*just before it impacts Midnight, a rift is torn open and a large hand bursts out smashing the point where it would hit Midnight, and I walk out*

@Legend

I don’t know where it is yet. But this guy does. Should be here any minute.

@Audacious

While we wait, do you have information on this mission?

@Legend

We’re looking for someone or something spiking activity of the elements in a certain area. With a good chance it’s who we’re looking for, but not guaranteed.

@Audacious

A rogue elements user?

@Legend

Or a natural phenomenon. Those do happen.

@Audacious

What phenomena would induce a concerning level of activity?

What phenomena would induce a concerning level of activity?

@Legend

We tend to be concerned if there's activity at all. But it can, and usually is, dangerous and needs to be managed before someone incapable of manipulating them gets themselves or others hurt. And that can happen at the smallest level... That said, a number of things could. A highly concentrated presence of an aspect of nature in a place where it isn't natural or forced can spawn elemental energy that then continues to grow as a self perpetuating feedback effect, for example.

@Audacious

The natural elements certainly aren’t rare by any means. And several disciplines channel those forces.

@Legend

There needs to be a catalyst of sorts too, but that's very rare, not identifiable to the naked eye and very often, unintuitive. The whole idea is very rare, nature wasn't meant to exist in the form of the elements at all, so it is exceedingly uncommon. I just mentioned it as a possibility, but we'll almost definitely find a person.

@Audacious

Your point being that manipulation in the form of your elements is not similar to natural elements or other forms of manipulation?

@Legend

It's not. It's like, imagine that Existence was someone's project, right? Like programming something. The elements- the ones we call Hidden anyway, would be a part of that project that ended up cut, but their existence can still be found in the records. They have functionality if you know how to access them, but due to their unfinished nature, a lot of what makes them tick isn't immediately obvious, and very much not accessible... That make sense?

@Audacious

Undocumented API calls. I understand completely.

Sure, whatever helps you understand. Not that I know if that’s a valid comparison… But you’re smart so I trust that it is.
