@Kalleth

So among my first questions was one about a potential "Wood" element, and Zelosse told me to talk to you about it.

So...could there be a "wood" element, or would this not fit into things?

And what about something like Bone or Metal as well?

What you mean when you say Wood is the sub-element known as "Flora." You can find my own Flora user in the CS tab, and a *fairly* comprehensive explanation of how it works directly underneath Jideh's CS. If you have any more questions regarding Flora, which is the "wood" element, so to speak, feel free to PM me.

As for Bone, the closest you'll get is the Blood sub-element. Now, one function of the bones is to produce blood cells (or is it plasma? My biology is rusty.) so you have an angle. But don't expect to be raising the dead or creating an exoskeleton of bone, or shooting bone fragments like a Marvel mutant. And lastly, Metal falls firmly into the earth element category, and if you pay attention to some of my posts, Jordan Manilow actually wields metal, if we're speaking about strictly scientific definitions. He can even coat his fists in iron, hardening them significantly.

Note: Earth-users, barring perhaps Aspect level competency, shouldn't really be able to manipulate factory-made metals. Only naturally occurring minerals and stuff in the actual, well, earth. And also minerals in their body too, if they're stupid/foolhardy like Jordan.

Hope that helps. Based on what you're asking, I think you want an Earth elementalist, possibly with a Flora specialization.

@Kalleth Ah...*scribbles out some ideas* Flora is a good idea. And a few more ideas to ask about, just to get an idea of things:

Is "Magnetism", or something like "Gas" or "Fog" that could be a gaseous subset of water perhaps like Ice is a solid sub-element, work?

@Zelosse It has been done, my lord. Behold, the cute puppy gif! *pulls on sith-style hood* XD

Going to sit tight on my end for that other answer though. :)

This pleases me.

Not sure how many of you use Discord on this site, but for those of you who do feel free to add me. Zeloose#6215.

Its usually a quicker answer than on the forums. That said, there will not be an official academy discord server.

@Regitnui@Rune_Alchemist I could post next, but do we want Zeke to react to Eir getting into his face first?

@Zelosse Duly noted. Shall i now execute Order 66?

Magnetism is a property which emerges from electron arrangement. That said, Lightning users are essentially manipulating electrons to create and control their element. Thus there's a potential magnetic power/technique which Lightning users could discover if they're clever enough. It's not broad enough to even be a sub-element though, since this is the Elemental (in Aristotelian sense) Academy and not the Basic Universal Forces Academy. Though I will grant you that BAFU is a much more pleasing abbreviation than EA. *shudders*

As for gas/fog, all elementalists can manipulate their element in a variety of forms. The more forms of the element they choose to manipulate, the more time and energy they have to invest in exploring the mechanics of their second soul. Any esoteric use of Earth for example, such as Flora, is practically so different as to be nearly it's own sub-element. Jordan Manilow's specialization is Sand, however he's a 42 year old man, so he can manipulate Sand, Soil, and Rock all with high competency, in theory. His specialization, essentially comes from his military past. As annoying as he is, his elemental expertise is very practical. But for example, Jordan wouldn't have the first clue as to how to use Flora techniques.

Anyway, to come back around to what I was trying to say, variations of an element, especially physical but in some instances spiritual as well, are still under the umbrella of said element. Choose a specialization if you like, but you don't need to limit yourself to just Fog. Gas would be air, and Fog water, and all these CHILLY Ice experts are in fact Water users. So have at er. Let me know if anything else is needed.

@Kalleth If I can add to that, Zeke will, in theory, eventually be capable of all sorts of light manipulation. Even his "painting" is a crutch for an eventual ability to create those images entirely mentally. He'll never be fantastic at laser beams or solar flares or even shining from himself. But he will be able to do all those things eventually.

Increased competence is marked by better generalisation, not further specialisation. It's like all your abilities level up over time, instead of using your points to concentrate your expertise.
