Most of the wolves aren't elementals though. They just have powers. I know of some wolves who have power over Fire and Water, therefore there isn't a weakness with it. And with the powers, they don't have the ability to do everything listed under them, which is why weaknesses aren't typed up. Generally, members just choose what their abilities can do. Not every wolf has the same exact way they can use their powers, so keep this in mind.
For example, some wolves light things on fire with their minds, while others breathe fireballs from their mouths... they all don't do everything anyone can do with fire, because technically, that would be a bit much.
I have a wolf that controls things with the Earth, but its like Toph from Avatar. She can bend the earth at her will and cause earthquakes. That's it. I have another wolf, however, with the same power, earth, but hers is more nature oriented with being able to raise vines and commune with the plants or use the plants that grow from the Earth. Hers is more nature oriented.
When members choose powers, they're technically supposed to choose one aspect of the power that they wish to use, like described above, that way its clear on what their intentions are and there isn't any discrepancies as to whether or not the character has a bit much to it.

And there are some powers that have no 'element' to them! We've always promoted members coming up with never-before-heard-of powers! Like the ability to morph into another creature, the power to remember every detail they have ever seen, the ability to sense the charges of the atoms in the air in order to reverse the charges and send an "airball" flying! Aelyn doesn't really need a list of elements and abilities, because members are always coming up with new, never used before, ones! While the Powers and Abilities Shop has a short list 'base prices' for certain ability aspects, members have, and always will be, encouraged to create powers which are completely unique to their characters!! Maybe this thread could be used as a chat thread, where you can toss ideas around about powers and abilities with everyone else!

True enough Sway, Punk but I wouldn't discredit this thread either. (I know your not discrediting it by the way '^^) Sometimes it's unclear what someone means by the names they give to their own self created powers. Although that confusion can be avoided by reading up on their wolf bios this could be a really great thread to explain it again and maybe even have intra-RPer discussions about them. you can't start chatting about someones power on their bio page but here we could all gather round, post our ideas and talk about them with everyone else. Think that could be fun.
As for the elementals already up here, they can be added to, amended etc. whenever new information comes along so that they can have an explaination of what a power could be and can do with every thinkable variation. Could also help out the new members who dunno what to give as a power to start off.
This as a power discussion thread might also give something towards the boost Aelyn wants. (I know Aeon's list of power creations are insane so it'll be great fun having people talk about them.)
Final point. If people come up with a power they wanna talk about but have only them use cause it's one they thought up alone and are really proud of it and wanna be the only one with it (at least for awhile or something) then they could just say that too.
Hehe think that's everything I can think up for now so *poofs* Fox.Ara xx ^^[/b]

Well, technically, no one person can claim a power to themselves. There aren't any rules that say if someone wants the power for their character alone, that it remains that way.
I think discussing different power ideas is a great idea. I'm just saying, don't get into the mind set that the list of elemental powers that are potentially listed are all one power source, but several different variations of a certain element that could be used, but not all at once. I don't want members to think that "Oh I have fire, so I can do all the stuff mentioned in this post" kind of thing.

Sorry guys, i just thought some slight explaination was needed, some of the powers that are one the powers list im unshure about and figured some explaintion was needed so members had some vauge idea of what they were chozing, of course you have the regular elementals but what about the others that arnt elementals.
Just parsay that this was going to be my first ever roleplay site ever, and i wanted just a glimps at what is currently avalible for powers, and didnt want to ask the head admins, or mods about them and just wanted to do some research and try and find them myself. Well shure there is a list of what what can be used in the powers and abilitys shop but no explaination of what they do or how they might be used. You can either go threw the hassle of looking on yahoo and youtube for answers and trying to find them yourself, or look on the site and find them easyer or at least a sample of what they do.
I just wanted to cover the bassics, and I see where you guys are comming from, i just thought it would be a good idea, but if you guys think its not i will delete this post and just let the Rper decied what they want. thank you for the consideration though.

I think this would be a great topic for the discussion of powers. Yes, there may be some powers in the Powers and Abilities Shop that are uncommon, its always been that members can use their imaginations to come up with different ideas as to what to do with the powers. I'm not saying listing the research you do here is an issue, but this is fantasy as well, and sometimes research doesn't give you all the options that you want.
Sometimes, if you look too literal into each of the powers, you'll miss the way you can be creative in your own way. Not saying its a bad idea to do research, just saying that there are also ways members can be creative themselves.
For example. Say a member wanted to use fire. SUre, you have the fire manipulation and whatnot, but what if a member wanted to be able to use fire in a different way that isn't set in the realms of physics or the real world? Cold fire or just using fire for a display. Making it so fire doesn't hurt others, no matter what kind it is... simple things like that that aren't really plausible in most cases in the real world, if at all. Does that make sense?

True, and directly to the point. I guess I will delet my first post and just keep this open for discusshion, would yall mind if i throw in a few attacks of my own attacks/ abilitys since we are on the subject and this will be for a little while the mainstay of powers talk.

You don't need to delete your first post. You can edit it however you want still. And if this is a discussion about different abilities and whatnot, why wouldn't you be able to put your own ideas into it?

Im going to make a list of powers/Abilitys and put them into catigorys, if yall wish to add to this list please feel free to PM Me and i will add them. I will also be adding mixed elements they will be seperated from the singles.
[shadow=white,right,300][shadow=yellow,left,300][glow=Black,2,300]Fire[/glow][/shadow][/shadow] Fire ball-This attack is preaty simple and can be used for looks, or for an attack. and can be made out of thin air and thrown. or be expeled from the mouth.
Flamethower- Able to spew a constant spray or stream of flames from either the mouth, or directly from the body for several seconds to several minuts depending on age and power of user. Somtimes after this attack extream heat, thick black smoke, and sparks or embers will be expeled from the mouth, along with visible heat waves like those found on a hot desert. These do not bother the user however and will dissapear several seconds afterwards.
Exploshin- charges body with extream about of fire energy before expelling it all at once in a massive exploshin, depending on the ammount of energy taken in, and depending on age and elemental strength of user will depend on size and power of exploshin. if destructive enough it is powerfull enough to sterlize the ground, desintigrate rock, and turn organic matter to ash. User will sometimes feel a massive power drain afterwards, and large ammounts of thick smoke, hot embers, and flame will be emmitted.
Heat wave- Sends a highly powered wave of heat energy from body, hot enough to scorch skin or vaporize plants somtimes catching them on fire. this can also singe and burn skin.
Microwave- This is the most extream, and deadly form of heat that comes from space, it is enough to melt, and Vaporized steel as well as melt and vaporize rock. this is only summond by the strongest of fire type elementals, they can pull this extream heat threw the atmospher from space, and use it like a massive magnifying glass however to limit this power it can only effect a area of 10 feet wide and cant be held in place very long, this power will turn organic matter to carbon, or compleatly vaporize it, and is hot enough to turn sand, and dirt to glass. this power cannont be used by the inexperianced and will kill then if they try or cause them to go into a coma. This means any wolf who isnt above adult status of age 3 cannot use this power.
