[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 590337, member: 6562"] Thanks! About the Ash region: Gems -- consider the leaves of the Shardvine, after having undergone intense pressure and heat. That's just one way gems end up in Ash. From WotC's MotP, I recall Wood Elemental Creatures having gem-like eyes. Ash isn't the only place to find gems, but it's a good place to find them un-attached. Metal -- yeah, there's a lot of metal outside of Ash, but since Wood can grow incorporating Metal into its structure, when Wood has burned, what's left is a skeleton of pure ore or of a single alloy, assuming it doesn't melt into a river of molten metal. Smoke -- pretty obvious. Magma -- "Ash" is a catch-all for "stuff left over after Fire has exhausted its fuel", and the Earth that's been super-heated takes a while to cool down. (Earth gets heated quite a bit because the root system of Wood goes very deep, and all of that burns, too.) I'd be happy with an Ash Para-Elemental being smoky, or made of magma, or some combination thereof. Relating the Elemental to the Prime Material -- I have no clue. IMC, it's not an issue. Sure, feel free to have the Great Cycle blaze across your world -- I don't think it fits particularly well with seasons, though. Here's my energy-plane breakdown: Storm: Electricity Air: Sonic (Harmonic) Fire: Fire Ice: Cold Ooze: Acid Water: Sonic (Concussive) Earth: Bludgeoning Wood: Piercing Metal, Gem: Slashing -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
