A magical school founded in the 350s by Maris of House Aegidius and Veprescula of House Manere, both of them of Covenant Plenilunium Album, whence the movement derives its name. It would perhaps more accurately be called "Chalycidican Elementalism." Plenilunial Elementalists use Chalycidican invocations to call upon one of twelve known elemental spirits to aid them in casting Cholaeic magic.
The original Chalycidican mystical tradition in which this practice is rooted has been lost, and the elemental invocations which have survived are poorly understood even by those who use them. Plenilunial Elementalist practice is therefore quite dangerous, and often yields unexpected or undesired effects. When it does work, however, it adds a great deal of power to Cholaeic magic, and can sometimes allow elementalist magi to perform truly extraordinary magical feats. This fact alone is probably sufficient to explain both the disproportionate political power the Plenilunial Elementalists hold within the Order and the fear and hatred that they engender in those who stand opposed to them.
The enemies of Plenilunial Elementalism often suggest that it is in fact really nothing but diabolism, that the so- called "elemental" spirits with which the Elementalists traffic are Spirits of Creation in Wisdomic guise. If one could somehow force them to speak honestly on the matter, it is quite likely that a number of the Plenilunial Elementalists themselves sometimes lie awake at nights suspecting much the same thing.
Covenants that have been founded by the Plenilunial Elementalists are:
The terram specialists who founded Covenant Rockroot (founded 373, destroyed 411) were a schism from the Plenilunial Elementalist movement.
The fae-oriented Arcadian Movement was also an offshoot of Plenilunial Elementalism.
