Adept

An Adept (エナジスト Energist) is a person in the Golden Sun series who can use Psynergy. There are four types of Adepts, one for each of the elements: Venus (earth), Mars (fire), Jupiter (wind), and Mercury (water).

Generally an Adept can only cast Psynergy of his or her element. However, the elemental spirits known as Djinn (singular: Djinni) can affect an Adept's Psynergy, either granting them Psynergies of other elements (if the Djinni's element is different than the Adept's) or making their existing Psynergy stronger.

Adepts are scattered throughout Weyard, although most tend to be located near sources of great Psynergy. Often this source is a deposit of Psynergy Stones, such as those within Mt. Aleph and the Elemental Rocks. Another possible source is the Elemental Lighthouses, giving birth to the Mercury Clan and explaining why everyone in Prox is a Mars Adept (Prox is just south of Mars Lighthouse) despite the cold climate. The most notable exception is Lemuria: all Lemurians are Mercury Adepts, yet there is no obvious source for this Psynergy.

Dora - Isaac's mother and Kyle's wife. Dora returns briefly in the ending sequence of The Lost Age. Her element is never revealed, although she is most likely a Venus Adept.

Tret - One of the guardian spirits and "father" of Kolima Forest. After Mt. Aleph erupted, some psynergy stones hit his branches, granting him a strange type of psynergy in the process. Because the Kolima lumberjacks hired by Lady McCoy from Bilibin lifted their axes against him and the forest he became mad with anger and casted a "curse" on the people of Kolima, turning them into trees so they would wither and die along with the forest. Once Isaac and his friends defeat his angered self and revive his kind self he uses his psynergy to free the people from the curse. His element is never mentioned, but he's assumed to be a Venus Adept, since he has the power to turn people into trees and the attacks he uses in battle are Earth element attacks.

Laurel - One of the guardian spirits and "mother" of Kolima forest. Along with Tret, she was struck by psynergy stones and granted psynergy. However, unlike Tret, Laurel was not angry but filled with sorrow, this being the reason why her powers are different from Tret's. Once the party saves Tret and the forest is revived, Laurel foresees an evil forest in the way of Isaac's path and gives him advice to proceed with caution. Likewise, her element is never revealed, however, the nature of her powers is somewhat similar to those of a Jupiter Adept.
