Sorry, but no.  I never did think much about psconics to buy any books, and I've never seen them in any of my games.  To be truthful, I just haven't been roleplaying all that I would have liked to, I estimate that I've had about 16 sessions (not the same campaign) all together, but I THINK I know a lot about the game.Thats pretty inuitive, which is good, but as you've noticed, I've asked a lot about elements.  It might be a good idea to dedicate a page of a section thereof to various potential visual effects of elements.  Evoke [Element] and Create [Element] both require some idea of what the elements look like, as well as Summon Elemental.  Heres a few examples:Light-Sterotically is a beam of white of golden light, because the element is usually compared with the sun or powers of justice and purity themselves, but light can appear as a rainbow spectum, or even a single-colored laser (circa Star Wars).Ice-Could be perfect Ice crystals, large blocks of Ice, a cloud of freezing air, or even snow!  Also, Evoke Ice could be totally invisible, with you trying to freeze and internal organ or just use your force of will to try to drop your enemies' core tempature to the point where he dies (or rusts, or just stops moving) from his inability to continue functioning.Lightning- This element either extends from your fingertips or for the sky, and it can be white, light blue or yellow-esqe.Ooze- Goo, Slime, Mud, Mildew, any kind of filth really.  Just remember there's a difference between Acid and Ooze.Void- Vaccuum, the absense of matter.  Causes tiny bits of skin to chip off.  Void can be totally invisible or seem like a waterfall of cool-colored energy streaks.  The visible energy in such an attack or item might merely be the barrier to keep the antimatter from the matter of empty air, or might be the void itself tearing across reality.Such an addition might make the system easier to use in the creation of truly artistic spells!</blockquote>
