Primal magic is the power of nature, the power of spirits and the power of the elements. These powers is manifested if only if the primal casters will is granted by nature or the spirits or whatever source they channel from, which results in a need of balance between their power and their source.

Primal Leylines
Primal casters are magically bonded to the locations they visit, the weather and the spirits that surround them. This makes some of spells easier to cast in certain places and locations.
Primal spells has an affinity tag that determines when they are easier to cast. Spells that create gusts of freezing air are easier to cast in ice cold tundra, while calling upon fire would be easier in a scorching desert.
When an affinity tag is active, the primal caster can cast a chosen spell with half the required spell points. If the affinity tag is vague and difficult to know whether its active or not, the DM has final say over whether it counts or not. Generally, if you have to roll exhaustion contests for heat, the heat tag is active, and vica versa for cold climates, and if you are in a terrain type the heavily matches the affinity tag, it is active.
