====== Elemental Affinity ======

**Elemental Affinity** is one of the [[rpd:spell_affinities|spell affinities]] available in Remixed Dungeon. Characters with Elemental Affinity gain special benefits when using elemental spells.

==== Description ====
Elemental Affinity allows heroes to use spells related to the elements more effectively. Heroes with this affinity can cast elemental spells with enhanced effects or reduced costs.

==== Heroes With Elemental Affinity ====
  * [[rpd:mage_class|Mage]] - The primary elemental spell user in the game
  * Certain other classes may gain access to elemental spells through subclass abilities

==== Associated Spells ====
  * [[rpd:ignite_spell|Ignite]] - Creates a fire blob at the targeted location (Java implementation)
  * [[rpd:freeze_globe_spell|Freeze Globe]] - Freezes and slows enemies (Java implementation)
  * [[rpd:wind_gust_spell|Wind Gust]] - Pushes enemies and deals damage (Java implementation)
  * [[rpd:root_spell_spell|Root]] - Roots enemies in place with earth magic (Java implementation)

==== Mechanics ====
Heroes with Elemental Affinity benefit from:
  * Reduced mana costs for elemental spells
  * Enhanced spell effects
  * Better synergies with elemental-based items and equipment

==== Spell Affinity System ====
This is part of the [[rpd:spell_affinities|Spell Affinities]] system that allows heroes to specialize in different types of magic. Each hero class has a primary affinity that determines which spells they can effectively use.
