[QUOTE="Thundershield, post: 4041874, member: 55219"] I'd explain it with the good ol' "fightin' fire with fire" ideology. You can snuff out a bonfire by dropping a stick of dynamite on it. Granted, it might be the concussive force that does the snuffing, but we recognize an explosion by the fire, so ideologically it's fire. As for cold, imagine the Ice Archon suddenly getting exposed to some powerful Cone of Cold-like effect, the sub-arctic winds tearing at its form as the cold in the Cone grip at the cold energy the creature is composed of, trying to pull the cold in it out and along with the cold inherent in the spell itself, much like a wave of chaos energy in Limbo (now the Elemental Chaos) might absorb and disperse a Slaad unfortunate enough to stand in its way. Yes, I know cold and chaos isn't entirely the same. The last part was mostly an analogy for your mind's eye. [/QUOTE]
