[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8388635, member: 58172"] I ended up with same six too. In some reallife elemental traditions, the fifth element is more like light, a luminous conscious spirit out of which all elements are made. But in others, it is more like darkness, the emptiness of space within which all elements can find place to happen. It felt like two separate elements - light and dark - even tho the are aspects of the same thing. I view infinite light as primordial, and then the darkness being a kind of quasi-real illusion being unable to perceive light, so that finite things can become able to exist. People often think the big bang was the first moment of the creation of space-time. But actually, no. Rather, the first moment of the creation of space-time is the darkness of empty space, within which a big bang could happen. Darkness makes the universe possible. The big bang itself is like a pinhole of light, glimpsing the rest of the infinite energy that is screened out by the darkness. This tiny point of light radiated thru darkness, separating into tiny globules of finite amounts of energy that form the elements that all things are made out of. There is also a tradition that the fifth element is force, especially gravity. It is the first element. Force is invisible and immaterial like darkness, but is physical and energetic like light. So I end up with seven primordial elements! Happily, these same seven also happen to be part of the D&D tradition. Light. Plane of Positive Energy. Darkness. Plane of Negative Energy (Void, the absence of energy). Force. Ethereal Plane. Gas. Plane of Air. Liquid. Plane of Water. Plasma. Plane of Fire (Sun, fiery but electrical, can be invisible). Solid. Plane of Earth. The last four are states of matter. The first three are immaterial. Light is mainly about healing and the ideal self across space-time. Darkness is mainly about teleportation thru space-time and stepping thru nothingness between things. Force is mainly about telekinesis and the spirit world of ether, including fey and shadow.
