Description
This... this one is complicated. The basic idea is to create an rpg-esque element system through which I can define any of the other pieces that follow.and you ask me "why the heck would you want to do that?"
simply put, because I can.
The top row represents the release of the 4 fundemental energies: thermal, radiant, chemical, and kinetic. represented by the symbols: flame, sun, lightning, and wind.
The second row is the absorbtion of the same energies, basically the opposites of the row above. Ice, shadow, life, and earth.
The third row represents organization, how the energies canbe harnessed to form more substantial arrangements through: mysticism, technology, or biology.
again with the questions "hey CJ, what's with the blacked out spot? what, you couldn't think of a fourth element?"
no, as a matter of fact I did. however it plays too heavily on an understanding of my own little stories that frankly I haven't even begun to write down, so I felt it best to leave out for right now. if I ever get around to doing anything with those stories, you'll find out what the fourth one is, If I don't, well then you'll just have to go mad from curiosity.
Final row is the four types of creation that comes from utilizing and element and a class. What is formed is eighte an entity (character, animal creature), armor weapon or vehicle.
a little over complicated, but I had fun doing it, and I expect the following pieces will be more detailed descriptions of the individual elements.

That's a pretty interesting system.
Are the bottom two rows part of the main system or more like subsystems?

They were meant as more specific modifiers. The top two rows are the classic element system, while the two bottom rows are more like What types of things those elements are attributed to. For instance, your classic fantasy flaming sword woud be; Fire (R1C1)/Magic (R3C1)/Weapon (R4C3)
