Rolecard:
You were born in a magical city. You grew up near the elemental schools, waiting for your turn to start studies and dreaming of the life you'd have after learning to master your element. However, you turned out to not be magical. You were supposed to live as a servant in the magic school, helping the mages to get better, but always staying lowly yourself. "It's an honorable life", they said. "Though you were born without magic, you can still live here and be useful."
You decided that an honorable life was not for you.
Steal (Day Action) - You are using forbidden magic to steal the elemental power from other players. Submit the name of the player you wish to steal from, and the element you wish to use. As the rituals for stealing magic take time, you must choose your target before 24 hours into the day phase. The player will be asked to choose an element, if they do not choose, or if they die before choosing, their choice will be randed.
If your target chose the same element as you… they defend against your magic and they gain the ability to multitask the corresponding elemental night action in addition to their other actions.
If your target chose a different element… they fail to defend against your magic, they are informed of and affected by the elemental debuff corresponding to the element you chose, and you gain the elemental night action corresponding to what they chose.
You cannot steal from the same player twice, unless you have already stolen from everyone in the game.
Elemental overload - If the same element is chosen on two consecutive cycles by the player who you were stealing from, there will be an elemental overload. This results in the element being destroyed forever, and during all future phases, players can only choose among the remaining elements.

The elements and their abilities are the following:
Fire
Blinded (Debuff) - The light of fire is guiding people during the night, and they'll become blind without it. The blinded player can only act after they regain their sight. Their actions, if they have any, will not be processed that Night. Instead, the actions will be delayed until the following Night.
Burning (Night Action) - You will try to burn a player, but as the fire magic is still unfamiliar to you, your success with the action is still weak. You can target a player to burn them, inflicting a Level 6 Wound.
Water
Drugged (Debuff) - As you are stealing the water element from another player, they will start losing their focus. If they have actions that night, they will have to choose three different targets, instead of one. Their actual target will be randed among these three names. They will not be informed who was their final target.
Rain (Night Action) - The rain will wash away the disguises and allow you to see more clearly. Target a player, you will learn the actions your target used during the Night, as well as all passive abilities they had. If they had actions they didn't use during the Night, you will not learn about them.
Earth
Exposed (Debuff) - Losing connection with the earth causes the player to become more vulnerable. They will gain the Macho modifier for that Night, and cannot be protected.
Stone wall (Night Action) - You are using the strength of the earth to create stone walls around a person you wish to keep safe. Your target gains 1 level of Shielding for the night.
Air
Shocked (Debuff) - Stealing the air from a player will shock them for a moment. While trying to recover from their shock reaction, they won't be able to perform their actions as discreetly as usual. They will be able to use their Night actions normally, but they will become announcing. If they use actions during the Night, they will be publicly announced as having visited their targets.
I was totally intending to do this (Night Action) - Controlling the air gave you the ability to fly. However, flying turned out to be more difficult than you expected, and you'll fall off from the sky, crashing at your target's place. Any killing actions that target you fail, but you are affected by any killing actions that target them.
