User blog comment:StoryGirl83/Elemental Attundement in the Test for "The Elementalists"/@comment-3452092-20181123150034/@comment-28520869-20181125053729

I did this a week ago and I forgot to post the results/analysis was aiming for metal/air tie. result: tie between metal-att and earth-att so I need fewer air/more earth/maybe less metal.
 * Group: take the lead (Metal, air)
 * value: knowledge (Air)
 * potion: mercurial (Metal, earth)
 * Scares: silence (fire)
 * pixies: protect (metal)
 * live forever: maybe. (Wood, metal)

I'm going to group together my thoughts on your metal/air/earth tie below, my metal/earth tie and your earth/water tie.

A - your Metal/Air/Earth tie from below

B - My Metal/Earth tie

C - your Earth/Water tie from above

Group (A, B, C) - research: Air does make more sense here and would remove air from take the lead (which would explain my results) - take the lead: so we'll remove air from here. there's a possibility this could be earth? - Fill in the gaps: if take the lead is earth, this will remove your earth from your test above and balance it out?

Research (Air) Take the lead (Metal, Earth) Fill in the gaps (Water)

Value (A, B, C) - loyalty: I guess earth might choose their morals over their relationships so loyalty wouldn't be what they value the most (well, loyalty to your principles?). balance could be an earth thing because balance is a sort of stability? - balance: yeah, I think it could fit in with earth. but this is still something which we probably can move later if we see any of the others you chose above are not earth. - knowledge: I think we're pretty set that this is Air.

Loyalty (Metal) Balance (Earth, Water) Knowledge (AIr)

Potion (A, B) - translucent: I'm not sure where to change anything yet so I think we should keep this as is. -mercurial: since I need more earth, I'm going to keep this as is.

Translucent (Fire, Wood) Mercurial (Metal, Earth)

Spend time (C) - Up in a Tree: Earth could still be beach but for now this seems correct. You can either remove this one or the one with gaps but I'm leaning for the gaps one for now.

Tree (Earth, Wood)

Scares (A, B) - change: yeah I don't think this should change - silence: I'm not going to move this around either since we're fixed on where earth is for here (which I need) and I don't need more air. At least its pointing that this is not air.

Change (Earth) Silence (Fire)

Live Anywhere (C) - In the coral city with the merfolk: I think this is the choice that we're mostly correct on. A lot of my playthroughs back that djinn is fire and air and giants are earth and coral is most definitely water.

Coral (Water)

Season (A, C) - Autumn: I think we're pretty set there too.

Autumn (Earth)

Pixies (B) - Get in front to protect people: We're supposed to be pretty set with earth and I don't see water or air doing this so this LOOKS like metal, but if so, then my answer of "maybe" should be earth to even it out. but I don't see that as being an earth thing. I see it more as fire but fire also matches rushing in and I think plenty of our results fit in with fire being rush in?

Either this is Metal and 'Maybe' below is earth or this is not Metal and its something else. I'll keep this metal for now and have 'maybe' as earth even if it seems strange.

Live forever (B) - Maybe. It could give me a chance to change things: I don't really see this as being an earth thing because earth doesn't really like change? I could see it being water though. Fluid and changing. But if 'get in front to protect people' is Metal, then I need one more earth and I don't see any of the others as being Earth.

So the pixies and live forever is either neither Earth or Metal or they each are earth/metal. I'm going to say its earth for now because I have metal for pixies and I need one more earth.

Creature: (A) - Gryphon, yeah hopefully its gryphon so it aligns

Decisions (C) - Based on my gut: this is another point where you could remove earth. weighing pros and cons could also be earth because that puts in hard work to do that. but. vs metal I think metal is more pros and cons (its organized) but air could still be 'with great difficulty' (since they can be indecisive). so for now, let's keep it as is?

Gut (Earth, Water)

Results:

A - Metal/Air/Earth​

As you posted below. I think your assessments are correct and would help explain my results in B.

B - Metal/Earth

For now this is the one that fits Metal (3), Earth (3), Air (1), Fire (1), Wood (1)
 * Group: take the lead (Metal, Earth)
 * value: knowledge (Air)
 * potion: mercurial (Metal, Earth)
 * Scares: silence (fire)
 * pixies: protect (Metal)
 * live forever: maybe. (Wood, Earth)

C - Earth/Water Water (4), Earth (4), Wood (1)
 * Lead - Gaps (Water)
 * Value - Balance (Water & Earth)
 * Spend Time - Tree (Earth & Wood)
 * Live anywhere - Coral (Water)
 * Season - Autumn (Earth)
 * Decisions - Gut (Earth & Water)
