Magic
Mawmaw are very magical creatures, and magic is the basis of their species as a whole. All mawmaw are born with a natural aptitude for magic, though the element that they are most attuned to depends on what season they are born. Below are the main schools of magic that a mawmaw can be born with, though there are definitely more types of magic than just these (which will be listed at a later date/when it is more relevant)!
It is important to note that the core element of a mawmaw is based on what season they hatch, and that most mawmaw only master that one element in their lifetime.

ArcaneA broader and more over arching classification, arcane magic refers to that which is the basis for most spells. It involves being able to manipulate and shift the core of magic, otherwise known as aether, to perform different tasks. Most mawmaw use arcane magic to make items levitate or move, considering they do not have fully opposable thumbs to do the same. Arcane magic can also be used to do domestic jobs such as cook, sweep, sew, or even write. All mawmaw have the ability to use arcane magic.

FireVolatile and explosive, this element comes naturally to mawmaw born during the summer. Mawmaw with a fire attunement can summon, breathe, and cast flames, whether for smaller tasks for with destructive intent. More powerful wielders can master flames of different hues, with the most renowned fire elementalists using their flames to forge weapons.

WaterAdaptable and diverse, this element comes naturally to mawmaw born during the winter. This element not only means that mawmaw can control and wield any liquids around them, but also that they can condense water into a more frozen, solid form. Many mawmaw under this element carry jugs or water around with them incase it might ever need to be used, and are known for their affinity of water and ability to breathe underneath it. Renowned water elementalists are able to control the temperature around them, and there are eerie tales of those who can even tamper with the inner fluids of other creatures.

WindLight and carefree, this element comes naturally to mawmaw born during the spring. Mawmaw with this element can cause small or large gusts of air, controlling the winds around them with ease. They are also known to have better endurance than other mawmaw, moving quicker and often times using their control of the wind to jump higher and farther. Renowned wind elementalists can make themselves float through the air, using the winds to carry their bodies.

EarthHardy and durable, this element comes naturally to mawmaw born during the Fall. These mawmaw can control the earth around them, whether it be rocks or soil. Often times these mawmaw are physically stronger than others, and are even able to raise the terrain around them or shape it for their will. Renowned earth elementalists can create armor out of the earth around them, or even tap into different types of metal and bend it to their control.

Solstice & Equinox
Extremely special and rare, the yearly solstices and equinoxes are said to create a sort of balance in the world's aether, meaning that mawmaw hatched on these days are more in tune with the magic around them. It's unsure why this happens, but mawmaw born on these days are royals, born with wings no matter who their parents may be. They are also gifted with the ability to master two of elements instead of one during their lifetime.
Vernal Equinox: These mawmaw will always have mastery over Wind, but the second element is random.
Summer Solstice: These mawmaw will always have mastery over Fire, but the second element is random.
Autumnal Equinox: These mawmaw will always have mastery over Earth, but the second element is random.
Winter Solstice: These mawmaw will always have mastery over Water, but the second element is random.
Mawmaw born on these days are considered royals, as they have one ascended trait (wings), and thus are not open to the public outside of special trades or auctions.
