I can no longer feel

Scadrial’s magic system is called Worldweaving. You have 4 elements: Earth, Fire, Wind, and Air. Fire and Air are of Autonomy while Earth and Water are of Honor. To gain mastery over your element you need to swear oaths. Autonomy’s oaths relate to seeking and granting others freedom while Honor’s are about justice and protecting others. There’s a 5th element, Light that’s of both Honor and Autonomy. Manipulating Light is very rare as you have to swear oaths both to Honor and Autonomy. The planet core is made of Gadrisium and Eamonium and Investiture leaks out and infuses crystals that grow deep underground. These crystals can then be mined and the Investiture inside breathed in to fuel Worldweaving. It is a location dependent system and only works on Scadrial.

Question for @SpartanBrigade and @al_lan_mandragoran: I might have asked this before, but do you swear oaths to Autonomy to get both Fire and Air or to only get one? If you get both, would getting Light mean you have all 5 elements (avatar style???)

Gadris Invested air and fire, I invested earth and water. If you swear oaths to one god you get control over all the elements that god invested. If you swear oaths to both, you also get Light. 

The strength of your powers is based on how high your oaths rank (think the radiant ideals and how they relate to Stormlight usage, as in the higher your ideal the more efficient you are, only in this case it pertains to strength. Requires same amount of investiture to do a more powerful thing).

Or at leas that's how I envisaged it.

That does make sense
