Nature, born from Aether, encompasses the different aspects of nature into three variants: Stone, Flora and Crystal. It is the element of strength, willpower, kindness, and mindfulness, with dragons of Nature often being caring and gentle giants.

Dragons of Nature learn to harness their powers through their calm and concentrated emotions, shaping the world around them at will.

They often discover their element through fighting, usually when in a defensive position. The stronger their willpower, the easier it will be for them to bend the landscape and nature itself.

This power has allowed dragons to somewhat “terraform” the world around them, albeit it is an ability hard to control and thus only Masters are able to truly make significant changes in the world. Most dragons are capable of other tasks such as sensing and gathering crystals or minerals, manipulate flora to their goals (usually to aid in farming), or help with mining ores.

It is taught by other experienced dragons who emphasize on the importance of confidence and willpower, oftent instilling a sense of protectiveness in their apprentices.

Other dragons have a natural respect for the Nature element, as it is seen as the strongest and most durable of all, and with it, comes a sense of security no other element gives. However they are also seen as stubborn or dumb brutes, and those in the army are often regarded as unfeeling warriors.

Nature by itself doesn’t have a standard breath like most, instead it has elemental manipulation, and depending on which variant, it behaves differently:

Stone: this variant of Nature is able to form small rocks to shoot as projectiles, or as a dense sphere and use it as a wrecking ball.
When it comes to manipulation, stone may be naturally levitated (which is not the same as magical levitation), with higher mastery allowing to move more and heavier rocks.
Another ability they possess is to create shockwaves, such as striking the earth which causes ripples of energy that will hit their targets with incredible force, capable of breaking bones on direct contact.
They can alter rocks of any kind.

Flora: having the deepest connection to flora, this is a variant focused on elemental manipulation, such as summoning and altering the world’s flora, with the most common ability being the summoning of vines, which will appear magical and wither away once the dragon stops channeling their element into what is known as controlled hypergrowth.
They may also alter foliage and wood.

Crystal: oftentimes confused with stone due to both being derivatives of minerals, crystal is both similar yet different from it. This element has no standard breath, however a crystal dragon may summon small crystal shards which will compress into bigger shards, thus creating darts of varying sizes.
These shards, unlike ice, remain in the world even when not supplied with magic or when the user dies.
Manipulation of crystal allows for the “sprouting” of sharp shards or spires from the ground, or shaping existing crystals found in the world. Dragons can also cover themselves in crystal armor which offers a fair protection against both force and elemental attacks.
