Brainstorming 

Brainstorming... What are the fae elements. Would be based off of feelings, emotions, I'd think... themes that fit well in a story. Fire and ice seem clear. The heat of passion, desire, inspiration... The chill of apathy, despair, listlessness... But what other elements? 5 would be ideal, particularly if I could match them to my current suits. Fire matches blades, ice matches crowns, easy.... That'd leave Forces, Myths, and Masks

Brainstorming 

Lightning is a no go, its symbolic feelings simply lead to fire. Earth and water almost seem connectable, but how? Is air separate? Maybe breath... The sensuality and fleetingness of life, as separate from fire? Where fire consumes, breath simply is...

What of light? Or wood? Oh, maybe wood would be earth and water's aspects... Wood could potentially be forces. The natural world, maybe?

I like the idea of Myths being Light somehow... Is there darkness? Or is that included?

Brainstorming 

Sometimes an opposing element can be an interesting thing... other times, the element can simply include the opposition to itself. Light creates shadows. Or perhaps the objects in front of it do... but regardless, shadows are part of the package. That isn't the case with fire or ice. What even would be darkness?

What other elements are common to use.... Senses, sound and smell... Adventure time uses candy and slime, which I admit is fascinating.

@BigFatFae Darkness is just the absence of light, at the end of the day.

@Thaminga Yepyep. Which is why I'm thinking if I use light, it may not have a counterpart darkness. but not sure! Still going over all of my ideas. Kinda trying to rapid fire a lot so I can see what stands out.
