But a lot the para-elemental and quasi-elemental planes seem to be there for the sake of symmetry more than anything else. Or to fill in a cosmological hole where you want elementals that have traits of two elements, and you need a home for them.I.e. A magma elemental has both Fire and Earth traits. So it comes from the plane of Magma, which is in-between Fire and Earth.It is to be remembered that this elemental cosmology was the original creation of Gary Gygax back in 1e days. Planescape really didn't change anything, just tried to present these odd planes as places where you could adventure. I don't think they were entirely successful in that regard.Still, there's a difference between disagreeing with prior decisions, and making fun of those decisions. Imo, as a matter of courtesy, you should only poke fun at your own work. It just seems mean-spirited when you do it to other people's.</blockquote>
