Spoo. Does your story use the classical elements? How about extras? Hm?

_{I mean, Akira sorta does, but then again it's one of those ideas that I'm not sure if I'll keep or not}

Care to explain it? Maybe I can help!

Bump.

Cool! I'd love to hear it!

Double bump

So like I said, I use all the elements!
Fire, earth, water, ice, star, shadow, dark, light, wind, lightening, harmony, chaos, nature, ect.

Sounds cool! Also sounds very diverts!

Oh holy shit my world is complicated, I’ll make it as simple as possible, I have about what, 27 elements or more…. and each can be combined, and there’s even species special ones so all together it’s like 75 or something like that combos now because I can’t stop.

That sounds cool.

I use them. Light, Darkness, Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Storm, Wind, Gravity. I think I have all the forces of the world.

That's a cool concept Dom.

Do you think I missed any?

I think you're good.

Hey what do the elements in your stories do? Like I know the basic classical elements, what about others like dark, like, and as Dom said, gravity, lightning, ice, you know?

Lightening works a lot like fire, but under conditions similar to wind.
Any element will have at least one, or more, opposing elements. (Fire to water and ice and nature)
And any element will have several given cohesive elements. (elements that work well together.) Wind and water is one example. As is water and Ice.

Most elements in my books also come mainly from blood sources, (the elemental power variation is hereditary) So this means that depending on what your base element is, (The element you started with, or are closest to.) this can affect physical stats.
For example, someone who has a fire base element, will do well in heat, but has a higher risk of injury, health issues, ect. in a colder environment.

Makes sense.

Also I forgot two earlier, Star, and Luna,
Oh and Spirit.

Cool! And how do those work? And what are the powers attributed to those elements?

kicks down door WHO SUMMONED ME

All three are considered a branch off of mystic, but each is different.
Spirit, is obvious. Most users of this element can see and talk to spirits. Some can summon them, others can walk on their plane of existence.

Star, is a more powerful element. This is usually associated with mental abilities, like telepathy, and also foretelling, visions, knowledge, ect. Star is mostly used as a supporting element for other elements, but is powerful on its own.

Luna, is a healing based element. It is also used for dream walking. A luna element combined with shadows can actually be used for creating nightmares.

Sounds like a cool dynamic you got there.

Anyone want to hear the mess that is my magic system?

Yeah, the tricky part is balancing limitations.

Anyone want to hear the mess that is my magic system?

YES!
