Dun-dun-dunnnn!

i had to go with wind....it was the closest thing to my element...

[Sophia Anieri]

And what is that? Parasol-element?

naw....lightning...*grin*

[Mitera Nikkou]

Fire would be closest, wouldn't it? ;p

[Stellar]

XD here we go again.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Well, it's not wind. Thunder would be wind, seeing as it's sound even though it's generated by heat (I think). Lightning's heat and energy, isn't it?

i based my answer on the fact that in most rpgs that have a defined wind element....most of the time there are lightning attacks in that class.....thus....lightning=wind

[Mitera Nikkou]

I know. But RPGs are cheap in that regard. Crunching various things into a few categories instead of giving us a bunch of categories. Even if it is to generate a system where each has a strength and weakness to other "elements." I guess that none of the game creators ever heard of "fire from the sky."

[Stellar]

That's the same argument I gave Nikkou, arg! *Watches as a black cat crosses a corridoor, then it crosses again exactly the same way it did the first time* The machines have changed something in the system!

[Stellar]

BLast you for typing faster Nekkid. But I have to point out that Pokemon had lightning as one of the elements, and it's weakness was ground. (Wich I dissaprove of highly because electricity can travel through the ground some distance before loosing energy and stopping)

[Anamnesis]

Note also that the ground, or something grounded, at least, is what makes energy...lightning.(Positive and negative attractions ^^) So, One could look at it, in a very simple way, that lightning is there because ground is there.(No criticism! SIMPLE, I said! SIMPLE!)
Now, that being said, one could also say that because there is up, there is down; Because there is equal, there is opposite, which is proportioned equally, though absolutely mirrrored, by force1.
So, |force1|=|force2|
...If that made any sense at all, to anyone...please tell me XD

[Mitera Nikkou]

I thought energy was created by particles above, not below. *Blinks* Besides, there is lightning that stays in the atmosphere, and thus the ground isn't needed for lightning. Opposite forces they may be, but I reckon that the ground doesn't actually produce the energy. Also, while most lightning is negatively-charged, some are also positive that connect to the ground (or water). And all that stuff-that-I'm-not-an-expert-on-and-trying-to-make-sense-of.

you know...there's one way to fix this easily....make a lightning option....*laughs*

Energy is created by any vibrating atom. And since nothing on earth is at absolute zero, then ... everything has potential energy.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Yeah, but it's too late.

I'll remember next time, though. I'm sure something else with elements will come up eventually. I just tossed in things that were commonly recognized for being a set and/or for contrasting one another.
