As I understood it, conjury is a bit of a process in the sense that you have to go through the elementals to obtain the desire effect (flinging rocks at a target or manipulating gusts of wind to a destructive effect). I always took that to be one of the key differences between base conjury and white magic: the conjurer asks whereas the white mage takes. Of course, I realize that this last point might be one hell of an oversimplication, if not outright incorrect... in which case please explain the difference to me ^^;
They are indeed found all over the world:

"If you are planning to stay a while, you might want to learn a bit about the elementals. They reside within all creation, and are the organizing principle at work throughout the world. The ancient elementals of the Twelveswood are much more powerful and wise than those from other parts of the world."

Which brings me back to my original question: do we know why they're so much more numerous and active in the Shroud?
