14	Flavour of Magic	This spell will allow you to bring your mystical being in line with the elemental forces that underlie all things: earth, wind, fire, water, and heart.

Notes

• Elements for pasta spells have equal probabilities, despite the fact that some elements have more hit messages than others.
• Elemental pasta spells cast against elemental creatures will never be of that creature's element (e.g., hot damage will never occur against a hot creature, so you never do 1 damage), assuming you do not have equipment or an effect that forces spells to be of that element.
• April 10, 2008 was Pastamancer Appreciation Day. Elemental spell names were changed: Minor Ray of Something to Ravioli Shurikens, eXtreme Ray of Something to Cannelloni Cannon and Cone of Whatever to Stuffed Mortar Shell. The damage caps for these spells were increased and Weapon of the Pastalord was modified.
• After the November 14, 2013 revamp, Pastamancers could summon Pasta Thralls (the Pasta Guardians replacements.) See Pastamancer/Old to see the skill list prior to the revamp.
