i remember elementalism was cool, you could 1-shot golems, manipulate lava, throw homing fast fire at people, but that's about it on elementalism, not too much flavor compared to Latauman that could talk with the dead, farseer that could see the future (i dont remember if it was that, but you could go to all 3 planes as a farseer and interact with the spirits), and witch doctors could make medicines and curses, which was really cool and it was the most orcish feeling magic because it felt crude.
Elementalism never really went beyond a combat magic, it was plainly combat magic and talking with the elements, which made it flat out boring... I was an elementalist since Anthos till i stopped playing, it just felt like any evocation magic except for the fact you manipulated existing elements instead of creating them out of thin air
