Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami

- Theorems and experimentations -

Unlike many other researchers, I do have the benefit of knowing what I am
supposed to achieve, even if I do not yet have any inkling of an idea how.
However, I do have theories.

From what I have seen Therlonius perform I know that all Elements need to act
as if they are liquid. My mastery of vitriolic stream may help in achieving
this liquid form. Even for Elements that do not obviously behave as a fluid,
it should be possible to provide each with that capability. For instance, when
I visited the Planar Sanctum -all too briefly- I saw liquid stone, not at all
hot to the touch. Something like that will need to be achieved, it is
encouraging to know such is possible.

So, on to the theory, as we know, Ooze can be quite corrosive. But, if
sufficiently contained, it can be controlled. A layer of Earth may dam in the
flow of Ooze, if provided in the right ratio. However, I have already learned
from experimentation that direct contact with Earth will slow done both it and
the Ooze it contains. That will not work, I have seen how all Elements were
swirling around in that cauldron.

However, if I encase that Earth with Air, it still contains the Ooze, but
without direct contact, allowing both goals to be achieved. That also means we
already have three of the seven Elements figured out! It was not possible to
see if Therlonius had precisely seven Elemental streams swirling around, I
would think it would be fine to add more layers if that is needed to contain
any of the other Elements.

Progress!
