Origins and Heritage
The Genfolk are a unique race born from the union of genies and mortals. This blending of elemental and human blood has resulted in beings with minor control over elemental powers, granted by their genie parents. Their appearance often reflects their elemental heritage, with subtle traits like fiery hair, stormy eyes, earthy complexions, or flowing, water-like movements.

Physical Traits
Genfolk typically resemble their mortal parents but carry distinct elemental marks:
-Fire Genfolk: Hair that flickers like flames and skin that radiates warmth.
-Water Genfolk: Blue-tinged skin and eyes that ripple like water.
-Earth Genfolk: Stone-like skin textures and a grounded, solid build.
-Air Genfolk: Light, almost ethereal bodies and hair that moves as if caught in a breeze.

Elemental Abilities
From a young age, Genfolk can harness minor elemental powers. These abilities are intuitive and grow stronger with age and experience. They might summon small flames, create breezes, shape water, or manipulate stones. However, their elemental control requires energy and focus, limiting how often and how intensely they can use their powers.

Personality and Behavior
Genfolk are generally benevolent, often using their powers to help others. Their upbringing instills a sense of duty to aid those in need, reflecting the better nature of their genie heritage. However, they retain a playful streak inherited from their genie parents, frequently pulling harmless pranks on other species.

Summoning Greater Elementals
As they mature, Genfolk gain the ability to summon Greater Elementals, powerful beings that serve them in battle. This ability is incredibly draining, leaving the Genfolk nearly exhausted after use. Summoning a Greater Elemental is typically a last resort, reserved for dire situations where their strength alone isn't enough.

Society and Culture
Genfolk communities are rare, as they often live among mortals, blending into various societies. They value freedom and individuality, reflecting their genie ancestors' free-spirited nature. Despite this, they maintain strong bonds with their families and fellow Genfolk, forming tight-knit groups when they do congregate.
