You can tell a story based in the Star Wars universe where the outcome is known, and still make it compelling.

Lucas just didn't.

Zahn, on the other hand, just did.

As those of you who care may or may not know, Josh and I are gearing up to run a campaign sometime in the future. At the moment we're thinking of using a D6 system (we've purchased a used copy of D6 Fantasy from Amazon). But we still think we want to apply our own 5-element magic system.

I'm just curious though, as we reinvent physics, what "element(s)" other people think the following things should belong to.

Cold - Is this Fire because it is an absence of Fire? Or is it Water because Water is opposite fire? Or do you find and bring cold from where ever it happens to be, using which ever medium (Earth, Air, or Water) is at hand? Something else?  All of the above?

Lightening/Electricity - Is it Water and/or Air to call the storm? Is it Earth to draw the lightening strike like a lightening rod? Is it whatever medium is acting as a conductor or insulator?  Is it actually just another form of Fire? Or is electricity just a more abstract form of Spirit (ie electricity is the real source of Spirit power in the first place)?
