Designed for "Sekaikata", a story I haven't finished yet.
(The Elemental Circle was originally a fancy way for me to keep track of how the five elements interacted with eachother, as well as their traits and personalities, natural origins, and corresponding body organs. It's also developed into a kind of zodiac system, and forms the basis for my one of my Eraknian spiritual systems.

Also, I have no knowledge of the Chinese language. All the symbols I use I know by way of Japanese kanji, so I wouldn't know if I'm using Chinese phrases by accident.

One more thing: If anyone fluent in Kanji or Chinese spots a mistake, the Circle is easy to fix. Send me a message.)
