# Elements & Spells

<figure><img src="/files/nQJudUSusOdP6xJpvk5R" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Spells of Genesis Elements</em></p></figcaption></figure>

There are 6 elements in the game: <mark style="color:blue;">WATER</mark> – <mark style="color:red;">FIRE</mark> – <mark style="color:yellow;">LIGHT</mark> – <mark style="color:green;">EARTH</mark> – ICE – <mark style="color:purple;">DARKNESS</mark>.

A card’s spell changes based on its Element:

* <mark style="color:blue;">**WATER**</mark>: Heals the closest card.
* <mark style="color:red;">**FIRE**</mark>: Send a fireball at the closest enemy.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**LIGHT**</mark>: Empowers your closest card.
* <mark style="color:green;">**EARTH**</mark>: Shields and reduces damage to your team from enemies.
* **ICE**: It extends the number of turns an enemy has to wait before attacking.
* <mark style="color:purple;">**DARKNESS**</mark>: It increases damage inflicted on your enemies.

Note that some spells affect all characters (*Target All*), either your cards or your enemies (depending on the spell). It can be really useful when you face a campaign with multiple enemies. Other spells only impact the closest character (either your card or an enemy). Pay attention to this distinction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.spellsofgenesis.com/spells-of-genesis/cards/elements-and-spells.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
