[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9283365, member: 6790260"] Then you're probably going to come up empty. You want something strange, that isn't a fusion, but isn't so alien that it feels out of place. You're gonna have a real real hard time achieving that. Anything new and strange enough to not be something that's got thousands of years of history is going to be something that doesn't [I]feel[/I] right. Humanity has had thousands of years to develop systems like this. If there were a deeply thematic, resonant, befitting element that could be slotted in the way you want, [I]somebody[/I] would have come up with it by now. Probably several somebodies, and others would have incorporated it into their systematized elemental structures for fiction or gaming or whatever. Maybe it's possible there's an idea floating out there that no human has ever stumbled over before, that would be a great new element equal and opposite to quintessence or void or whatever. But if nobody's found it and written it down in the past three millennia...you're not gonna find it on a forum thread in three weeks. [/QUOTE]
