Craymel

Craymels (晶霊) are elemental beings in Tales of Eternia and the source of magic in the game. They reside within all things and have many manifestations. Minche University specializes in the study of Craymels, and Keele himself is in the Light Craymelology department. The two worlds contain different types of Craymels, which explains the different atmospheres of each. Inferia has water, wind, fire, and light Craymels, whereas Celestia has earth, ice, lightning, and darkness. This is why Inferia is much lighter and warmer than Celestia.

Use of Craymels
Those who have the ability to control Craymels and their phenomena are known as Craymel Mages, and anybody with a little training and a Craymel Cage can learn to be one. Both Keele and Meredy are Craymel Mages. A Craymel Cage consists of a Craymel Crystal into which the Craymels are sealed, allowing the one who possesses it to use spells called Craymel Artes with incantations in Melnics. Greater Craymels can only enter a Craymel Cage through use of a device called a Parasol, but can then be summoned directly as well as enabling other, more basic spells. On Celestia, Craymels are used far more commonly than on Inferia, not only by Craymel Mages, but also in machines, allowing for the creation of mechanical ships like the Van Eltia, trains, and even Craymel-powered weaponry like the Craymel Cannon.

Greater Craymels
Greater Craymels (大晶霊) are the greatest manifestation of each element, and they act as the Summon Spirits of the game. Greater Craymels are divided into three tiers: the Primary Craymels who make up the basic elements of a world, the Governing Craymels who unite groups of the Primary Craymels, and the Supreme Craymels who are even more powerful than they.

The Greater Craymels include:
 * Undine, the Greater Water Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Inferia
 * Sylph, the Greater Wind Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Inferia
 * Efreet, the Greater Fire Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Inferia
 * Rem, the Greater Light Craymel and the Governing Craymel of Inferia
 * Gnome, the Greater Earth Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Celestia
 * Celsius, the Greater Ice Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Celestia
 * Volt, the Greater Lightning Craymel and one of the Primary Craymels of Celestia
 * Shadow, the Greater Darkness Craymel and the Governing Craymel of Celestia
 * Maxwell, the Greater Elemental Craymel and one of the Supreme Craymels
 * Sekundes, the Greater Time Craymel and one of the Supreme Craymels
