So, anyone have any ideas on what a great theme for containing power in a box? Other than Pandora?

I have two unposted card ideas I associate with this idea, and I'm coming up blank. One has something to do with trapping and creating spells past the 6 card limit, and the other has to do with collecting and multiplying quanta.

For the former I also want to know what you guys think the best element for spells is.

Right off the bat, all elements have spells. I'm sure some elements have more than other, but to find the best one would mostly be a hopeless task, IMHO.

I think that containing spells might work with Gravity, due to gravitational force compressing something, but trapping and creating would be not something that comes right off the top of my head. Discord comes to mind when collecting and modifying the opponent's quanta comes up, but that's not the situation here. I wouldn't have any idea.

Somehow, aether or entropy are speaking to me for trapping/creating spells.  Pandora's box does seem like a good idea, but it is rather done to death in a lot of fantasy games.

Here's a few mythological 'boxes' to get you started:

The Golden Box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aglaulus,_daughter_of_Cecrops 
Another Golden Box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche
Egyptian Box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris  (this one has the advantage of very nicely fitting in Time with the Egyptian theme)
