Elemental or Construct[edit]

Shouldnt these be more of a constructs insted of elementals ? You cant really find them anywhere in the world. They are been summoned by the Olmakhan only. Wouldnt that make them constructs insted of elementals . The same way we have Flame Legion Effigy and others . --DiegoDeLaHouska (talk) 15:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

There's a half and half split, but their nature is more elemental than the more mechanical effigies and other constructs. Effigies have through dialogue been confirmed to be crafted by shamans but they aren't composed out of fire unlike Embers and have a framework. Sand Elementals are composed entirely out of sand and stone and don't appear to have a framework. Sunlion (talk) 15:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
There is things like jackals which are constructs, but that may be because of the elemental nature of the djinn when shaping them. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sunlion (talkcontribs) at 15:54, 31 March 2021‎ (UTC).
Fire Effigies are made from shamands out of fire and metal because those are the resources they had and practiced their magic with. These sand Effigies are the same in my oppinion. Made/Summoned by shamans using the natural resources they had around to practice with. Stone and sands of Sandswept Isles. Elementals are elements of nature powered to life by magic mostly found on magic powerful places like Temples of Orr, Ley Line Enegy conduits and more. Construct or Effigies are elements powered by magic but by someones hand. They are not naturaly formed but summoned . Based on that we have seen Olmakhan summon these Effigies in DRMs, I belive these should be marked as constructs insted of elementals. --DiegoDeLaHouska (talk) 17:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
