Subject: Re: The discussion on elemental storm/ +attunement and elemental spells.

Attunement was, in the past, based on Lore training. The change came about because this setup did not fit with the underlying concept of attunement.

Attunement is any character's (not necessarily wizard's) natural tie to or affinity with a particular elemental energy. It isn't a reflection of his or her studies into elemental lore, which have absolutely no impact on it.

This is why attunement is a choice.

As was said, trying to change attunement would be like trying to change blood type. It's a fundamental part of your character's existence, and not just a matter of whim to be changed.

This is why attunement is a one-time choice.

Also, realise that attunement is NOT an in-character choice. It's a out-of-character choice that is available for you the player to have a bit of control over your character. The attunement is there before you make the choice, it simply isn't evident to your character or anyone else.
