[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8073157, member: 6803643"] Right, that was my thought originally with Earth (Metal, Wood), Water (Ice, Shadow) Air (Fire, Lightning). But as I was thinking about Solid-Liquid-Gas, it didn't line up right, and some of the attempts to align it with Enneagram personality types weren't working out the way I wanted (Land/Sea/Sky made sense as 6/3/9 types, but then when looking at lightning, fire, and wind, wind was better suited toward type 1 rather than type 9 at the top, which was better with lightning as a blinding light). So I've been playing around with it, and I've gone back and forth a lot. That take on it was Type 8-9-1 (Body/Instinct Types) - Fire/Lightning/Wind Type 2-3-4 (Heart/Emotion Types) - Wood/Water/Shadow Type 5-6-7 (Mind/Thought Types) - Ice/Earth/Metal It's just that then I'd draw natural connections between Fire and Earth, Lightning and Metal, and it didn't line up quite right in terms of how the Enneagram works vs how these elements work. So I'm still tinkering, and trying to figure out what I want out of the elemental system. It's also my alternative ability score system, moving from 6 abilities to 9, which changes a lot of things in my setting in terms of how some classes and skills work. [/QUOTE]
