The Elementalists Theory Page

Welcome to The Elementalists series theory page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories about the Elementalists series.

Unconfirmed Theories

 * MC does blood magick: The last spell in the spell book could end up having to do with blood magick; especially if it's Your Character doing it to save one of their friends/love interests.
 * Professor Swan protecting MC: Some people have hypothesized that she could have been the person who Elise Goeffe mentioned to have  made a good case to keep us at the school.
 * Connection to The Dread: Some people have theorized that MC will have a connection to The Dread. Something like he perhaps will be revealed to be our father. Some also believe that The Dread may try to recruit the MC as an evil apprentice of sorts.
 * Raife's return after being MIA is connected to MC: At the end of Chapter 5, Aster experiences another vision around Your Character. She appears to be in distress and says things that allude to Raife possibly being back after being gone for so long.
 * Aster joins Penderghast College of Elemental Magicks: Some players have theorized that Aster is like Zig Ortega from The Freshman, where she is clearly a friend to the gang and main character herself. Thus, they see her eventually becoming a student at some point in the story.
 * Everett's Role in the book: Some players have theorized that he could be MC's antagonist based on what Griffin has said about how the other Thief players treat him. Other players have theorized that like the HSS trilogy, The Elementalists MC could in turn have 5 love interests (3 guys and 2 girls). But that Everett could be a later addition to the LIs for this book.
 * Zeph will be a villain: There is a growing theory that Zeph will end up becoming a villain due to him studying something completely separate in the library scene in Chapter 7. Some are also off-put that he seemed to be interested in befriending us almost immediately given that he isn't a love interest.
 * Mysterious Man: It is believed that the man with a white beard seen in the mirror dimension is Raife Highmore. The MC even points out that he looks like Raife if they received the book on his crimes.

Confirmed Theories

 * Beckett is a Love Interest: In Chapter 4 it was finally confirmed he was a love interest when you had the opportunity to get romance points with him.
 * The strange woman: MC sees a strange woman after he/she gets out of the Dean's office. Some people have hypothesized that she could be Professor Swan. It was confirmed in Chapter 6 that it was indeed her when we see the same character model with her name on it now too.
 * Spells: Although the first two spells have been free and rely on your memory, it is believed that more advanced spells such as blood magick (see theory above) will cost diamonds. This is confirmed in Chapter 7 given that the Defense spell and the Moon spell cost diamonds.
 * Twin and Moon Magick: It is believed that the reflection of the MC shown in the first chapter could be the MC's long lost twin who has the opposite attunements to MC and could perform Moon Magick as opposed to our own Sun Magick. In Chapter 10, it is revealed that the reflection is our twin, Atlas. Furthermore, they have a moon birthmark as opposed to the MC's sun birthmark.
 * The missing part of the baby picture: It has been hypothesized that the other half of the picture we found through the mystery woman's things could include a woman holding our twin sibling. In Chapter 10, Atlas reveals that they have the second half of the baby picture.

Debunked Theories

 * Zeph as a Love Interest: When he first appeared in Chapter 1, many people thought he would be an alternate male Li to Griffin and Beckett (who hadn't been confirmed back then). But in Chapter 2, this is debunked when he reveals to you that he's aromantic and asexual.
 * Switched places: It is believed that because the MC got sucked into the mirror dimension at the end of Chapter 9, their reflection is now at Penderghast. This was debunked in Chapter 10 when Atlas is revealed to still be in the mirror dimension.
