Elemental Associations!

I think just about everyone is aware of my little project Elemental Wars. Recently i've begun working on a sweet, fully custom hero table.

Each side has a hero for each possible combination of 5 elements, where no hero has two of the same. Wich means there are the following combinations:

Storm - Earth
Storm - Fire
Storm - Frost
Storm - Spirit
Earth - Fire
Earth - Frost
Earth - Spirit
Fire - Frost
Fire - Spirit
Frost - Spirit

I'd like you guys to tell me wich associations you have with wich elemental combination. For example:
Earth and Frost could be snowy mountain peaks
Storm and Frost could be mist
Frire and Spirit could be dark magics, warlocks.

I ask this not only becouse i might be able to use some ideas for upcoming heros, but also to see if none of my hero ideas are too farfetched for its elemental combination.

Storm + Earth = Thunder
Storm + Fire = Lightning
Storm + Frost = Blizzard
Storm + Spirit = Astral
Earth + Fire = Volcano
Earth + Frost = Glacier
Earth + Spirit = Nature
Fire + Frost = Mountains
Fire + Spirit = Solar
Frost + Spirit = Snowstorm

Agh, I had (have) a similar idea. Curses.

I'll put up some ideas later if there aren't many already made.

Storm - Earth – Earthquake
Storm - Fire – Dragons
Storm - Frost – Blizzards
Storm - Spirit – Lightning Storm
Earth - Fire – Goblins
Earth - Frost – Glaciers
Earth - Spirit – Spirits of Nature
Fire - Frost – Demons
Fire - Spirit – Wildfire
Frost - Spirit – Undead

Hmm... They remind me of... Aw, you decided to go with Frost instead of Water, huh?

• Storm - Earth: Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Cyclones.
• Storm - Fire: Thunder and/or Lightning.
• Storm - Frost: Hailstorms and Blizzards.
• Storm - Spirit: Lightning/Thunder is energy so... perhaps anger or passion.
• Earth - Fire: Volcanoes, Lava, and Magma.
• Earth - Frost: Snow and Glaciers.
• Earth - Spirit: Something along the lines of nature.
• Fire - Frost: Um... Realistically, you'd just get water.
• Fire - Spirit: This reminds me of light or souls.
• Frost - Spirit: Ice is usually associated with death and-depending on who you ask, rebirth.

(Tried not to read too many other's responses...)


Might help if you could clarify what you meant by "Spirit" and "Storm"... Is this, like, each Hero is a mix of two elements? Or that heroes' abilities (some/all) have this element in mind?

Storm - Earth -> Conduction
Storm - Fire -> Inferno
Storm - Frost -> Blizzard
Storm - Spirit -> Arcane showers
Earth - Fire -> Volcanoes
Earth - Frost -> Ice; slippery
Earth - Spirit -> terrain control
Fire - Frost -> ying and yang
Fire - Spirit -> Dancing flames
Frost - Spirit -> mind immobalization

Yeah, just sounds a lot more badass :P

Thanks for all your imput, i'm going to make a big list of the notions that make me go "orly? hadnt thougt of that" and use it as a reference and source of inspiration. So... Keep em comin'


Each hero has an attack type of one element and a defence type of another. They then have two corresponding abilities for each element.
