If you could control an element...

[Dogmantra]

i'd control the 5th element

...
Wood? Boron?

What's your Classical "Western" choice, then?

I think he was referring to ES' fifth element flesh.

[Wolfzen]

Actually, I think he's talking about the movie, The Fifth Element

[Dogmantra]

I have had so many (if three is so many) people not realising that I was joking... Boron is the chemical element with atomic number 5. Wood is (I think) the last listed classical "Eastern" element.

This is why I really should have used a smily...

Well my knowledge of the periodic table of elements is extremely limited.

[Dogmantra]

I had to look it up, too

i knew boron was the fifth element and guessed wood might be an element somewhere, but i still thought you were being serious

[The Most Unholy]

Hmmm... an interesting idea.

Western: Of these four, I would say air. Being able to fly would be a wonderful thing...

Eastern: I would make Earth for this one. I would love to be able to create buildings and many other things out of the Earth herself.

The periodic "elements": In all honestly, this is just silly. Finding any of these "elements" in their pure state is just insane to think about. When was the last time you came across "natural neon"? HOWEVER, if I had to control one it would be mercury. It's one of the few that isn't too mixable, and having an immunity to it would be lovely. Also, forming keys and such out of some that you could carry around would be a handy feature.

Bad pick, the Noble gases are almost always found in their pure state in nature....just saying >.>

[dag71]

Air
Water
Ununhexium Just kidding, carbon, carbon has life, cyanide, glass, and diamond

[DerangedPickle]

I can't believe no one said helium. Making everyones voices high-pitched

I was gonna post helium lol

Anyway i would have:

Western-Fire

Eastern-Metel

Periodic-helium

[Sonixboom]

Water (most things are made of it at the deepest level)

metal (might be fun)

Plutonium (sounds like im a crazy awesome guy) I can walk around saying I HAVE POWER OVER PLUTONIUM!!! (make ppl radioactive)

-Sonix

[m@nyt1mes]

as kestral said, fire+metal=molten metal, which would be exponentially cooler
hydrogen. sounds lame im sure, but where will i be in 50 years when thats what ALL cars are running on? i will be having free fuel.

Oh, I know that silly! Noble gases can't combine with anything anyway. I'm just curious as to where exactly you find neon. Mercury would be hard to come across as well, except in old instruments like barometers and thermometers and thermostats like the ones in my ancient house. Mercury would be a lot easier to keep track of than neon, too.

[The Raven]

Western: Fire. Simply because it's awesome, I can melt people, i can put peoples clothes on fire, put stuff on fire, burn everyone.
"Burn baby burn"

There is a reason i play The Pyro a lot in TF2...

Eastern: Wood. I'm a treehugger IlUvTrEeS

Periodic: Nickel.

[Fiar]

Western-Fire
Simple as to why, my name is kinda literal to the one I'd like to learn.

Eastern-Wood
Metal is cold, hard, and unfeeling. I view that as a trait of monsters. Wood is life, and life as a whole is hard to extinguish. I'm not referring to individual life to be specific, no, I'm referring to all life, which can be hard to completley destroy. Cause all it takes for life to regrow....Is one seed.

Periodic-Uranium
Atomic weaponry harnessed within myself. I kinda view it as the, "Atomic Anatomy" perk in Fallout 3. I can unleash atomic energy and explode it without dealing myself damage. Kinda like harnessing static energy and touching metal and zapping it, but also yourself. It would be minus the zap to yourself, but it would be outward in all directions. Harming any but myself caught in it. Of course, throwing mini nuke-like bombs and such would be a kick.

QFT.

Pretty much the reason i picked it.

[Generalno1]

Western-Air
Eastern-Wood(also tree hugger)
Periodic-Chlorine(dunno why)

[Symmachus]

water cause water attacks are the most graceful and elegant (fire is so violent, earth so crude, air so boring...)

metal (LIKE MAGNETO he'z so cooooool )

OXYGEN THEN I CAN ASPHYXIATE EVERYONE LULZZZZ

[satan_n_stuff]

Fire, metal and hydrogen? Are you perhapse thinking about making an overly elaborate deathtrap? Or are you just suicidal.

[PineconeKing]

Western stuff= Fire. BURN!

Eastern Stuff= Earth. CAVE-IN!

Periodic Element= Einsteinium. Look it up, it's no. 99.

Indeed.

Reporting it would've been nice.
