I thought it might be a fun little exercise to try and rank the elements based on how essential they are to each other, not so much in a game aspect but more in a "real world" aspect . For example:

:gravity>:earth because without :gravity  :earth would never form.

People are free to put up their own rankings of things but they should give a reason for their rankings (no need for anything serious, something like mine would be fine). As a community we'll try and put up a final ranking.

Here are a few more of mine.

:life> :death because if nothing is alive then nothing can die.
:light> :darkness because :darkness is only defined by the absence of :light.

Tea is good

 :air > :fire
because fire requires oxygen to fuel it?

OH then  :time:life because time is needed for life.  (and isn't it like...  :water:life too?)

And   :gravity:air, because without gravity, air too would dissolve into space.

And  :rainbow/all >  :entropy (which needs something to be random in/of)

:entropy requires matter/energy to be random in, but I don't think it needs everything. For instance:

:entropy>:life because cells fundamentally rely on entropy for diffusion.

Another one is:

:life>:aether because :aether is a fictional concept and therefore requires something living to make it up.

 :air:water because water is h20 and oxygen is air.

This is wrong. Because air is mostly Nitrogen.

 :time is :electrum, :time = :electrum
 :life + :time leads inevitably to :death, thereby :death > :life + :time together.
 :rainbow is formed when :light passes through :water, thereby :rainbow = :light + :water

 :entropy increases as :time progress, thereby
:entropy + :time =:entropybig


 :fire :water makes you ???
 ??? together with another ??? in :darkness can lead to :-* ;)
 :-* ;) may cause :gravity and new :life, thereby :fire :water + :darkness = :gravity + :life

If you are a mercenary,  :death:electrum


Furthermore,  :electrum =>  :darkness (corruption)
