THE DIRECTIONS OF THE COMPASS

We use the Compass to define direction. The four Cardinal Points on a compass,
North, South, East and West as you may know correspond to each of the Four
Elements. North = Earth, East = Air, South = Fire, West = Water. These are known
as The Four Corners.
There are also intermediary points between these. NorthEast = Air of Earth,
SouthEast = Fire of Air, SouthWest = Fire of Water, NorthWest = Water of Earth.
When you advance in Spellcraft you may use these finer points to further intune
to the intention. Depending upon what you intend to achieve you may wish to face
its direction.
