The Serenthan Elements
By: Bloom Date: September 8, 2019, 11:39 am
---------------------------------------------------------
There's 40 of them, now.
Aether, Air, Animal, *Anomaly*, *Bio*, *Chaos*, Chrono,
Darkness, *Data*, *Dream*, Earth, *Emotion*, *Fey*, Fire,
*Gravity*, Heart, Ice, *Illusion*, *Laser*, Leaf, Light, Mana,
*Mend*, Metal, Moon, *Nether*, Null, *Paper*, *Plasma*, Poison,
Psychic, *Shadow*, Sound, Space, Spirit, Star, Sun, Thunder,
Ultima, and Water.
"Zero" is used for those without elemental affinities.

I feel like some elements are a little redundant when they could
easily be repurposed as dual elements or sub-specialisations.
This was also one of my gripes with the gazillions of Daraiian
elements, because a lot of them could easily be fulfilled by
other roles.
-Laser can be a sub of Light
-Illusion can be a mix of Light and Sound
-Plasma can be a sub of Fire or Electricity (a glaring omission)
-Thunder is a sub of Sound
-Zero and Null seem kind of the same, don't see why someone who
doesn't have elemental affinity couldn't qualify for Null.
-Sun is just a Star.
-Combining Gravity, Moon and all these other celestial body
things would be nice because otherwise, they seem really niche.
Gravity can just be a sub of that then.
-Animal can be a sub of Bio.
-Shadow and Darkness seem kinda the same and can be subs of
Light.
-Ice can be a sub of Water.
-Leaf can be a sub of Bio.
I have no idea what Mend and Anomaly are supposed to be. But
look, I just shortened your list by at least 10 elements, and it
becomes much more simple.
If Chaos is anything like Blah, or if Anomaly means outlier
powers, then you can just merge Paper into that. There's nothing
for acid either, and Poison isn't acid necessarily, so a
Chemical element would be cool.
In general, you don't really need to have a lot of different
elements to fill niches. You take large, overarching categories
and make niches within them. This also has a positive side
effect of diversity - two people with the element of Light could
do completely different things with it.
Just my two rupees though.

Hopefully @Kim can answer that.
Mend equals healing.
The notes Kim sent with @Ginevra says its alt name is "Heal".
The basic spell for Null is named "Void" - and Aether's basic
spell is "Quint" (from "Quintessence") and perfectly has five
letters.
Zero = unable to control elements, thus neutral towards all
elements.
The elemental resistances are so incomplete, they're BLANK.
Chrono's basic spell is Paradox, though.

Probably a better idea to rename Null to Void because otherwise
it gets confusing.
Quint is like squint, lol. How about Ether as the element name
so it's also five letters :P
I kid, I kid.
Now that I think about it, Dream could also get subbed under
Psychic, cause it's still part of your mind.

Metal can also be a sub of Earth.
Mend should really be less of an element and more of spells from
various different elements.
Actually you know what who am I to be giving suggestions on this
lol I don't know anything I'm just a bumbling fool
but I will use this list at some point:
Air
Anomaly (Paper, Chaos)
Biological (Animal, Leaf)
Celestial (Stars (Sun), Moon, Gravity, Space)
Chemical (Poison, Acid)
Chrono
Data
Earth (Metal)
Electricity (Plasma)
Ether
Fey
Spirit (Emotion, Heart)
Light (Darkness/Shadow, Illusion, Laser)
Mana
Nether (Fire, Lava)
Psychic (Dream, Illusion)
Sound (Illusion, Thunder)
Ultima
Water (Ice)
Void

To be fair, you or Kim could potentially build an entire Lunar
Game based around the manipulation of that one element.

Couldn't you just use the Matter element to become [s]Purple
Karjam[/s] God and kill everything in your way?
