[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7954068, member: 7006"] Time does not meet those other four planes. The only reason we had the quasi-elemental planes in the first place was because of the idea that the four elemental planes and the positive and negative energy planes were a "sphere" that surrounded the prime material plane. And thus only where each of the six planes that touched one another on the sphere got a para or quasi plane identified. But note that we never got para/quasi planes that were a combination of opposing sides of the sphere-- there was no water/fire para-elemental plane, no earth/air para-elemental plane, and no positive/negative quasi-elemental plane. So that shows us that this sphere was special, specific, and did not allow for additional metaphysical "connections" Only the sections that touched each other on the sphere got the special combo plane between them. And this sphere only had those six specific planes in it, and only in that specific plane placement. The other special "inner planes"... like the plane of shadow, the temporal plane... those were unconnected to this sphere and did not touch any of them. Thus there is no "combination" plane of earth and shadow, or air and time, or positive energy and shadow, or negative energy and time etc. The elemental/energy planar "sphere" was special. And only those specific sections of the sphere that "touched" each other got their own para/quasi plane. [/QUOTE]
