Silver is probobly my favorite color, but gold is kinda up there too. Though I mostly like gold cause it's the color of shiny treasure!

Honestly though, I wouldn't use the word 'energy' in that context. It's kind of overused and vague. I would probobly use the word 'mana' instead. I know when people hear mana they often think of magic points form a game, but mana is actually a pretty cool word with a special subtle meaning. It's basically a special kind of power born of respect and reverence.

Personally I rather use a more old englishy word for it though. All due respect to the Polynesian people of course, I just think old englishy words are more fairy-like. One word that might work is 'wald'. It's a nice fairy-like word for it because it means both 'forest' and 'power/dominion'. Another word I like is 'dwim' which is kind of a made up singular shorting of 'dwimmer', and also sounds a lot like 'vim'.

Also, I spot a u! Are you British? Or maybe Canadian, I donno if they do that too. I live in America myself, when I am not hanging in fairyland anyway. :3

I'm not, but my boyfriend is. Having said that, I'm not American either, even if I do live here. Hilariously enough, considering our annual Halloween costumes, I'm actually Norwegian!

Hehe... Neato! Norway sounds like a nice place to me, the whole region does really.

From what I remember, it is very nice. I haven't been there for a long time though. My family packed up and took off when I was like five. I've lived in Nordic America (that's just what I call the predominantly Nordic parts of North America haha) for the majority of my life, and now I'm too poor to move back. xD I might go back to Maine, though, in all honesty. Or I'll just stay in Minnesota. Oh, the possibilities.

Oh yeah, not that I think about it I think you told me this before on discord.

Maybe. I don't know though, but my memory is just bad.

My memory is pretty bad too to be honest...

Hmmm...
Elements by color:
White: Life/Light, Plasma
Black: Death/Darkness, Void
Pink: Flames+Life Combo (red+white=pink)
Purple: Flames+Freeze Combo (red+cyan = purple)
Silver: Life+Death Combo (black+white=gray/silver)
Gold: Storms+Turbulence+Tremors Combo (yellow+green+clay=gold/brass)

Of course, this is using the Eight Elements (as I had learned), not the Prime Four:

Torrent, Storms, Tremors, Turbulence, Freeze, Flames, Death, Life.
(Water, Shock, Earth, Wind, Frost, Fire, Darkness, Light)

I tend to use 10 or 11 elements divided into 3 or 4 cycles:

The Energy/Destruction Cycle: Fire, Ice, and Lightning

The Nature/Creation Cycle: Water, Wind, Earth

The Cosmic/Existence Cycle: Light, Dark, Law, Chaos

The Null/Nonexistence Cycle: Void

The cycles don't actually reflect on how weaknesses work much, that's much more ad hoc.

Also, other elements that don't really fit in: Plant/Wood (water+earth maybe?), Metal (fire+earth maybe?), Poison (may or may not be covered by plant), and about a billion others.

That's not even getting into the possible difference between 'elements' and 'damage types'. Like the Physical and Absorb elements in default RPG Maker are not really elements at all, are they? Then there is the old cut, stab, bash damage types....

But this is about colors not elements. The mix of colors reflecting a mix of elements is an interesting idea though. Really I usually think of earth as brownish but made it magenta so I could get every addictive and subtractive primary color, and the way they mix makes sense this way. Fire + Water = Earth makes some degree of sense, since lava and water combine to make rock or obsidian. Fire + Wind = Lightning also makes sense, and so does Water + Wind = Ice. Perhaps the exact algorithm should be that addictive primaries add, and subtractive primaries subtract? Or like how Quantum Chromodynamics has Antired, Antiblue, and Antigreen... Maybe this is getting too complex.

Edit: Oh no! I forgot about the tastiest element of them all! I was going to list it with the 'other elements' but it slipped my mind.

Or, in Adventure Quest, the tastiest and rarest element, would be Bacon, yes, Bacon. lmfao
