		+	For material stuff relating to elements, see [[Item Infusion]]. As explained there, energies have magnitude. This is relevant to the hylocosmic model in that, in a three-dimensional representation of the planes, magnitude represents the distance each plane is from the center (and thus its counterparts).

		+	=The Hylocosm=
	The hylocosm is a representation of the four basic elemental energies, and the primordial energies, and how they combine on a metaphysical level to make amalgmal energies. These behave as "sub-elements", and are otherwise distinct from the energies that birthed them. Therefore while metal, for instance, is a combination of fire, earth, and extropy, doing a damage combination or otherwise doing stuff with a combination of those damage types or energies is not equal to this.

		+
		+	==The Revised Model==
		+	As the above is mostly correct but somewhat outdated (and I'd feel bad just deleting it because it's nicely written and all), here is the more current version of the hylocosm, along with the related telesmic channeling skill name for each element. I will leave the table wizardry to someone more versed in the wiki arcana than I.
		+
		+	===Base Elements===
		+	Straightforwardly enough, elemental energies are present independently, and occur in all of the following amalgams.
		+
		+	* [[Earth Affinity\|Earth]]; [[Geoturgy]]
		+	* [[Fire Affinity\|Fire]]; [[Pyraturgy]]
		+	* [[Air Affinity\|Air]]; [[Aeroturgy]]
		+	* [[Water Affinity\|Water]]; [[Aquaturgy]]
		+
		+	===polar energies===
		+	Besides occurring on their own, polar energies are present in second, third, and the fourth amalgam, but not in first order ones.
		+
		+	* [[Extropy Affinity\|Extropy]]; [[Viturgy]]
		+	* [[Entropy Affinity\|Entropy]]; [[Thanaturgy]]
		+
		+	===First Order Amalgams===
		+	First order amalgams are comprised of two adjacent elemental energies.
		+
		+	* [[Magma Affinity\|Magma]]; earth + fire; [[Magmaturgy]]
		+	* [[Smoke Affinity\|Smoke]]; fire + air; [[Typhaturgy]]
		+	* [[Mist Affinity\|Mist]] air + water; [[Achlaturgy]]
		+	* [[Mud Affinity\|Mud]]; water + earth; [[Laspaturgy]]
		+
		+	===Second Order Amalgams===
		+	Second order amalgams are comprised of a base element and a polar energy.
		+
		+	* [[Crystal Affinity\|Crystal]]; earth + extropy; [[Krystallaturgy]]
		+	* [[Eskara Affinity\|Eskara]]; earth + entropy; [[Eskaraturgy]]
		+	* [[Heat Affinity\|Heat]]; fire + extropy; [[Thermaturgy]]
		+	* [[Ash Affinity\|Ash]]; fire + entropy; [[Spodaturgy]]
		+	* [[Lightning Affinity\|Lightning]]; air + extropy; [[Elektraturgy]]
		+	* [[Void Affinity\|Void]]; air + entropy; [[Ektilaturgy]]
		+	* [[Ooze Affinity\|Ooze]]; water + extropy; [[Khlediturgy]]
		+	* [[Ice Affinity\|Ice]]; water + entropy; [[Glaciaturgy]]
		+
		+	===Third Order Amalgams===
		+	Third order amalgams are comprised of two adjacent elemental energies and a polar energy. Another way of thinking about it is, third order amalgams are "polarized" first order amalgams,.
		+
		+	* [[Metal Affinity\|Metal]]; earth + fire + extropy; [[Khalkiturgy]]
		+	* [[Stone Affinity\|Stone]]; earth + fire + entropy; [[Petraturgy]]
		+	* [[Light Affinity\|Light]]; fire + air + extropy; [[Lumiturgy ]]
		+	* [[Darkness Affinity\|Darkness]]; fire + air + entropy; [[Skotaturgy]]
		+	* [[Thunder Affinity\|Thunder]]; air + water + extropy; [[Keraunaturgy]]
		+	* [[Cold Affinity\|Cold]]; air + water + entropy; [[Cryoturgy]]
		+	* [[Acid Affinity\|Acid]]; water + earth + extropy; [[Oxydaturgy]]
		+	* [[Alkali Affinity\|Alkali]]; water + earth + entropy; [[Alkaliturgy]]
		+
		+	===Fourth Order Amalgam===
		+	There is only one of these and it is made up of everything else.
		+
		+	* [[Shadow Affinity\|Shadow]]; extropy + earth + fire + air + water + entropy; [[Skiaturgy]]
		+
		+	==See Also==
		+	There are forces and energies that don't fit into the hylocosmic model. For those, see the [[Paracosmic Model]].
