The elements are varied. There are four Major Elements, many Minor Elements, and together all these elements forme just about every bit of matter in the universe.
The Major Elements
Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.
Air is really a Minor Element, but has come to be grouped with the True Majors over time for various reasons.
The True Majors are what they are because they are each balanced between creation and destruction, life and death. Fire, for instance, destroys and burns, but out of the ashes comes fresh life, and fire is what recycles rock.
The Minor Elements
Light, Darkness (also called Shadow), Electricity/Lightning, Ice, and possible others.
These are minor, usually focusing on either creation or destruction, or remaking. They are not less than the Majors in power, just in position.
Minors are also combos of the Majors
Major Elements combine into just about every material in existence. Every gas, every creature, every element.
Combos
The Minors are combos of the Majors. I shall list these below:
Light- Fire(m) and Air
Darkness- Earth(m) and Water
Lightning- Air(m) and Fire
Ice- Water(m) and Air
Elements with a (m) by them are the main elements in the combination.
Other combos:
Fire + Earth = Ash, Lava/Magma, Rubber, anything formed by melting, gases such as nitrogen,
Fire + Air = Heat (this can also be generated my Fire alone), Steam (not vapour), most gases,
Fire + Water = Vapour/Clouds/Fog, gases such as Oxygen and Methane,
Earth + Air = Dust,
Earth + Water = Poison, Mud, other Potions
Air + Water = Mist (not the vapour kind),
This is only a preliminary list, and I may add more later. Others may add to the list, just post below. Also, post any questions you have below.
