Description
I'm like a regular Great Being, aren't I? I was asked to think up the elemental energy system of the Toa next, and I was more than happy to oblige.The elemental energy system of the Toa is perhaps one of the most complex processes of all species of the Bionicle kingdom of life:
1. The center controller in their brain activates, creating a bright glow in their head and eyes while also sending a signal to...
2. The core elemental energy vat. It begins pumping stored elemental energy from itself and the energy stored in the Toa's muscles into arteries that lead to...
3. The primary element pore, a kind of valve for elemental energy. It is from here the energy is released and propagates as the element itself.
4. External elemental manipulation centers in the brain control the native Elemental Energy outside of their body, with the fingertips acting as annexes for this psychokinetic-like control.
Notes:
*When native elemental energy mixes with a found element (like Gali's created water contacts regular water), elemental manipulation then stretches to control the raw element.
*The core of elemental energy acts as a converter, or "stomach." It can process absorbed raw elements and create elemental energy of the same type, and then store it in...
*Cellular power reserves, or muscle. A Toa's muscle can store both life energy for movement and backup elemental energy. Created Toa, such as the Toa Mata, are more mechanical and lack much of the muscle that Toa evolved from Matoran have. To make up for this, their cores can regulate higher reserves of energy inside.
*Secondary energy pores conduct a Toa's pure energy -- or life. This is typically used only to create Toa Stones or heal someone, at the cost of transforming into a Turaga if used enough.
*Finally, weapons are able to conduct elemental energy from the pores at a higher rate than without a weapon. How the weapon can manipulate the element from there depends primarily on the shape of the weapon itself.

I would think along the lines of, say, if needed, a Toa possesses an 'organ' of sorts that can atomise and rebuild materials as ones needed for an ''element'' or as the element itself(ie oil or gas for Fire, or just absorbing water for Water or Ice), and it has its own 'pores' which can suck this in via the hands. Certain elements, such as Ice, include freezing systems in the arms to freeze water into ice as it leaves the arms, or simply fires condensed masses of pulverized Ice/Stone/Earth/etc. And manipulating exterior instances of the element, if a Toa is capable of it, is performed by a magnetic-esque field, where 'density' and 'movement' in said field is tailored specifically to that substance or material. For example, Stone would have high 'density' and low 'movement', while Water would be the opposite. Not that yours is bad, it is a well though out and well drawn interpretation.
Hm, I might make my own sketch like this.

Yeah, a backup elemental system. There are probably plenty of organs I myself hadn't thought of that could be put to use like that, so why not draw up a kind of elemental appendix?

i never thought of it like that, cool idea! i know one of my toa fuels much of his power through an unusual stone in his chest.

You're a damn psychic, I'd never be able to think something like that up.

Interesting fact: Toa of Stone have more developed elemental arteries in their legs and feet, while ones of Earth have a compromise between the arms and legs.

That would explain all the times Pohatu kicked some piece of stone and it went sailing over the horizon xD
