It's a very real possibility. Should be obvious by now, but working with one isn't something that's off limits.
*As we walk into an intersection in the road, not far to the right we can see a small group of people dressed like the guy before in a scuffle with what looks to be humanoid robots, trading blows both at range and in hand to hand combat*

@Valiance

Androids too? I wonder what caused this chaos.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Isn’t our target, but had no problem with us being theirs.

@Valiance

Could the target be working with a Hidden Elements user?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

They can if you do it right. The weapon has to be pre-powered by someone who is a user.

@Valiance

Who isn't our target. Strange, to say the least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Things have moved away from channeling elemental control through a medium. It’s much more convenient to just channel the elements yourself with no middle man, and it has no reliance on having possession of anything specific.

@Valiance

But I presume the weapon can be given to a non-user of the elements?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

There are so many possibilities. But guns utilizing them isn't something you see at all. Not in the modern day.

@Valiance

Why is that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

The feeling is different. It’s not something you’ll be able to catch with the naked eye.

@Valiance

Who would be supplying legitimate weapons empowered by the hidden elements? More of your practitioners looking to stop this threat?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I can tell when the source is valid and when it isn’t. Wherever that gun came from, it’s legitimate.

@Valiance

What delineates between the two?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I can feel it. That gun back there used one.

@Valiance

But that soldier wasn't him, I presume.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Nothing else appears in the immediate area, aside from two metal humanoids rocketing by overhead to another area of the village. The fighting sounds less like full on war and more like isolated skirmishes from different areas of the village*

@Valiance

Can you detect the Hidden Elements in use?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Maybe. A bit if a coincidence that a silent world suddenly has so much attention when he happens to be here, though, don’t you think?

@Valiance

Certainly. It's a less likely possibility.
*Looks back and forth for threats*
