 Each level of the four Immu may be used to cast rituals that relate to the four elements. These rituals may be short and have small effects, or longer and more elaborate providing greater effects.  Additionally when doing something that matches the Immu being used, the effect can be created quickly, or with a reduction in the rituals difficulty. Each level of the four Immu may be used to cast rituals that relate to the four elements.

-====== Specialization ====== 
-Each Immu path represents an element.  But each element has tasks that it synergizes with.  When using an Immu to perform a task it is tied to you may perform rituals at spell speed with a single roll or may perform the task at ritual speed with a -1 bonus to difficulty. 
  
-The exception to this rule is using Immu to defend yourself, in this case such magics are always performed at spell speed with no difficulty bonus.+----

 +**Use of Immu:**\\
 +- Immu is generally used on elements or harmonizing the elements. They can cleanse the body of taint but effecting humans directly is beyond the control of **most** Teomallki without significant practice.\\

 +
 +====== Delaying the ritual ======
 +
 +All effects of rituals are instant upon completion, but some ritual effects maybe delayed by 'storing' them inside breakable objects relating to the Immu.\\
 +
 +For example, by using a clay pot marked with symbols of air a Teomallki is able to store lightning inside a bottle using Respiro 2 (Strike). Sending forth grenades of pure thunder to strike at others. Using this method the Respiro 2 effect essentially becomes an instant action to be used in a mission.\\
 +
 +However, you can only store rituals to a max of your current Waka. In this example the Teomallki would only be able to have 2 on him at once if his Waka is at 2.\\
