When the elementals combined, it made the created elemental better in all aspects. Even though combining them upset the balance, it made the elementals larger, have a more concentrated fire, and what looked like, a little smarter.

My idea is that if I combine the other elements would it create an even smarter elemental. That it could possibly, over time, be able to share in the expanses beauty. Also, I predict that by combining the elements it would grow a greater authority above the other elements domains, like lightning. This will only work if it doesn't conflict with the lightning.

Now to decide what elements to use.

I probably should not combine fire and water. They would react negatively together and cancel each other out. So as a first test, combining earth and fire should turn out fine. With the steady earth calming the strong fire. To test my hypothesis I take the equal essence of earth and fire combining them together. Though, unlike the instant transformation of the elemental, the process was slow. After an unspecified amount of time it became a red glowing and moving rock. It was extremely hot and after careful examination, I continued to put it in both the fire and earth domains. To my surprise it could interact with both and not upset the balance!

To mark this occasion I named it lava! It did not look like a new element but a lesser form of the two. It was actually the opposite of my earlier theory. So for that I will name it and any other creation like it, an elemental process. This is by it being the same way I created the larger elementals and it being from the elements.

Now I know my original goal was not accomplished but, maybe other combinations will? Another safe combination could be air and water. Air, with how its currents are constantly changing and water with how moldable it can be. After making sure the air and water essence are both equal I combined them together. Another slow process through their merging, made water that curls and crashes above the rest of the water. I called these waves and by extension its movement water currents. Some small, others large, the waves were influenced from its predecessors free shape and movement.

What came next surprised me. After the waves were created in the area I combined the elements, they showed up all through the water. All along the top of the water, different wave emerged. This unexpected event is interesting. Does that mean that anything I create can afterwards be made naturally! To test this I go deep into the earth looking for lava. I find exactly what I am looking for. Though I will call it magma when it’s in the earth and only call it lava when it’s outside the earth. I changed the naming to commemorate this event. Though I wonder if there will be an impact on the elements for these combinations? Well, since there has had nothing happen so far, I will continue my experiments.

For my next combination I’ll combine fire and air. This will be interesting to see how it turns out. I take equal parts of fire and air essence, and combine them. What came from the slow process was a fire that grew and shrank in both heat and size based on the air around it. Though once there is an absence of air the fire would extinguish. I called this fire, the mortal flame. This is because it has great potential but relies on an outside force, air. So without the air, it would be terminated. In the fire domain, the mortal flame only showed up around the edges, where air was present.

Since my first three elemental processes were successful, I think it is time to try something risk. My idea was that I could combine earth and air together. This may be a problem because air is constantly changing and earth is solid. But with the possibility of the something new I have to try. With equal parts of earth and air essence, I combined them. After a slow combination process, what came out was soft and airy earth, which I call soil. What happened next did not surprise me as much with what happened with the waves but the uppermost earth all became soil.

Considering my last risky combination turned out alright, one more should be fine. In combining fire and water, I will need to be extremely careful. For fire is hot and grows with water being cool and tenacious. For the combination I carefully took exactly an equal parts of water and fire essence and combined them together. This made a heated area of water that floated. I could view it perfectly but if I had worse vision it would make my vision by it obscured. I called it mist. To see its effects I only had to look over the calmer parts of the water. It floated above the water but could not stay stable over the rougher waves.

Continuing my fun, I decided to combine water and earth. I did not know what to expect after all the other elemental processes but I certainly would find out. By taking equal parts of water and pure earth essence I combined them together. To be honest I was a little disappointed because nothing happened. But just to make sure I waited. After ages of waiting a clear rock formed with bunches of the same around it. It had a pointed top and multiple different sides. It was beautiful. I called this gorgeous rock, a crystal. To see how crystals naturally form, I first wait many more ages, leaving time for more to grow, and went into the earth. I didn’t have to go nearly as far to find the crystals as I did the magma. When I found the crystals, they were amazing, some bunches were the same as I personally created but others were full of color. There were all colors imaginable, blues, reds, yellows, purples, greens, blacks, oranges, and many more! It was way more beautiful than I ever expected. But that just reminded me of my goal I had yet to accomplish.

To share all these wonders of the expanse, with another!
