An element set is a wooden box that serves as a testing and training tool for young magicians. It is a very common household item in Red London.[1]
Overview[]
An element set is a palm-sized wooden box with metal clasps. It is compartmentalized into five grooves; each holds a bit of a different element: earth, water, sand for air, oil for fire, and a piece of bone. The items do not fall out when the box is tipped or turned over.
Element sets are given to children to find out their magical affinity. Children use it as their first training tool before moving on to more complex versions.[1] One such advanced version consists of five glass balls; again, each of it contains another element.[2]
