- Lore and Mechanics: The book incorporates science-based lore for each elemental, alongside gameplay mechanics.
- Additional Content: Included are familiar, steed, and summonable elementals, along with adventure hooks, optional rules, and various gameplay tools.
- Artwork: The book features over 120 illustrations, each depicting a different elemental, created by Catilus.
The Kickstarter campaign offers multiple pledge tiers:
- Add-On Access: Backers get access to various discounted add-ons, including Catilus’s previous publications.
