(Most) living organisms in the Chi World live with Chi Energy inhabiting their bodies. When an organism is born, it inhabits the energy of their parent, so if a parent has Chi, so will the offspring. Each Organism is born with what is modernly known as an Internal Element. An Internal Element can be described as "a pair of shackles that imprison a body to a single element, and block them out from accessing their energy. The control over one's energy is instead replaced and mimicked by the control of a single element, which is given at birth, and can be influenced by heritage, but it doesn't have to be. Breaking one's internal element, as well with adding, or taking away one is also possible. If one acquires the power of a tree (known as a Staff), he or she can add the element to themselves
