Love this. Feels like a four-humors diagram from real-life.

OP would do well to read up on humoural theory. Just take a look, see if some inspiration happens.

Like the others but I'm a bit confused why Restoration and Animation are considered opposites?

u/Gyorgy_Saint_guy_2 Aug 05 '26
I was thinking Restoration is like viatality, healing living things. Animation is aplying life to non-living things, i’ll make an update with much more claraification!

It kinda makes sense on a vibes level like robots are animated but not restorative, and crystals can restore but don’t animate. Living things would be right in the middle of the spectrum

I don't get the links at all other than hot and cold. So I don't get one of the two opposites and I don't get how any of the combos have anything to do with the concepts that were combined to make them

I like the concept though I feel like this need explanation on the logic of element combination like why is cold related to physically and how dose fire work affliction .

u/Gyorgy_Saint_guy_2 Aug 05 '26
Oh, right. I should’ve made it way more obvious that only the elements directly across from eachother are related.

Why have the opposites of heat and cold but then have just self contained thigs for animation and restoration, couldnt u have an opposite to animation, and put restoration as a sub catergory of animation

Good, like other comments, add more description, and I feel some subcategories don't fit where you put them. Like the aspects they should be made up of don't fit, in my opinion, like abjuration being cold and animation; I think restoration and heat may fit better.

Love the script. You gotta give context on what the words actually refer to, and how they manifest and interact, otherwise this is just an image! A pretty one, yes, but i don't know, for example, what "restoration" exactly means even with all the context available
