Suggestion for dividing Elements into 4 different groups

[Lex]

Way too complex.

Maybe that will be better:

That's pretty awesome actually.

But the gray groups are wrong, right?

Option #2 looks pretty sweet

Well, according to me they are ok. Your version will look like this:

Lex, out of sheer curiosity, may I ask your reasoning behind classifying time and aether as spiritual elements?  Aether makes a bit of sense from a Greek mythology standpoint, but I'm not sure about time. 

I think I liked Bloodshadow's grouping better, with [ ] as the spiritual elements, and [ ] as the fundamental elements.

[Lex]

I prefer and  as "fundamental" elements because for me they have primordial meaning.

Bloodshadow's description of "spiritual" elements was "Those elements define the creatures" and for me creature is created from by the powers of , grows with , meets the end with and going to again.

Here's an image that is a combination of past suggestions. I used the image by Lex, only made some changes.

Three rings represent "Elemental Groups".

Outer ring is "Reality" or whatever, then we have "Spiritual", and the middle ring is "Material"

Red lines represent opposing Elements.

Blue lines connect the second group, "Ally Group" (names suck, I know). So each "Ally Group" has one element from each ring.

Lastly there's the old "good" and "evil" that everyone love.

I like this because "ally Groups" have pretty good synergy and everything looks to be in a pretty good balance.

Really nice job, SG. Combines many popular groupings into an assimilated chart.

I dislike the name "ZOMG!" though. No idea what that implies, either

Zomg represent me not coming up with anything better. In fact "Destruction" is the only one I like. Hmm.. well, "Nature" is not that bad I guess. But the other two suck needs to change.

What about:



Groups are in my version just rotated to find better synergy between allies.

SG, by "Cardinal", I chose that word because one of its definitions is "basic" and "fundamental". I guess "Fundamental" could work, but a strange part of my brain kicks in and yells at me because the word "Fundamental" was longer than Material and Spiritual while "Cardinal" is the same length.

I'll see if I can think of an allies group...

Your 3 "basic groups" make no sense to me.
