The Elemental Map  

This is a map of the relationship between the 8 varieties of energy that exist in our world. Water extinguishes Fire, Fire melts Ice, Ice obstructs the Wind, Wind erodes the Earth, Earth absorbs Lightning, and Lightning electrocutes Water. Light and Darkness are different from those six in that they oppose each other. These relationships have many effects on everything from magic to synthesis.
