Description
Here are some of the elemental dynamics in the Glyphmaster universe. The arrows on the inside of the hexagon are more important (the arrows on the outside aren't as important).With this, maybe you can see why the three nations were fighting in a stalemate war for so long. Since each one is its other's weakness, if one attacks another, the third will step in and take over in the aftermath. Example: if Tel'ach attacked Ersinia with wood/fire (good against earth/ice), Nyssera would, in the aftermath, vanquish Tel'ach since lightning/water > wood/fire.

The absence of air/wind is an interesting touch. Is the setting's magic system unable to manipulate air, or is it simply that no nation specializes in it? Alternatively, is air not really treated as an element in the same sense as these six?

In this story I was going to eventually bring up the idea of hybrid elements, by combining two glyphs of separate elements in certain orders, you could create hybrid elements.
There would be a primary glyph with the secondary glyph being used to imbue an attribute.
For example, (1)fire + (2)earth = magma element, but (1)earth + (2)fire = meteor element
In this scheme, wind was called hurricane element, produced by adding (1) water + (2) lightning.
Not sure if that makes 100% sense, but that's what I had in mind.

Though it doesn't mention the dimensional skills shown previously by the boy I think this will help you a bit.

Yes, space-time is essentially better than all of these, so it is not included in this schematic.

Of course since you're following a final fantasy route I think it won't be hard to understand why.

In the end lightning wins though, only one that can be beated by just one guy. :/
Just looks awkward cause the graph seems to be missing that last arrow.

That's because this is an incomplete graph. But I'm not going to give away anything until the story gets to that point ^_^

You'd be surprised at how well thought out TSB and Lindbergh are, too if I had time to draw all the pages in the story lol. I have the next 1000-2000 pages planned for TSB and I have the entire Lindbergh story in my head (though I don't know how long it would be).

wow
Hey tell me about your thought process How do you come up with stuff, Like how did you come up with TSB

TSB was a story that I've been molding around in my head since forever. But it began with legos (like the building blocks). I always used to watch Toonami and play with legos when I came home from school in primary school, and I would buy a whole bunch of kits and mix them together to build completely original stuff. I liked building towers and spaceships back then. I'd just sit in front of DBZ, and build stuff during the commercial breaks. But I was enthralled with stuff like DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, and Outlaw Star. So along with the spacecrafts I built, I dreamed up a story to go along with it - and that was the embryonic form of TSB. It involved a war between two space faring races called firans and pyrellians, which eventually over the years came to be Del-Naajans and Saam-Sarans, and stopped being in space.
But those were just vacuous ideas back then, and I couldn't draw that well. Even before I had a solid story, I was working on the characters, as you can see here: http:/fav.me/d2wy6j8 and [link] . I first really started thinking about the story of TSB after I started drawing it. To tell the truth, I used to think about it every day while I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep, or in the shower, or on the train (odd places, I know). Over time, I came up with a rich backstory and enough material to fill another 100 chapters if I only had the time to draw.

wow, Thats awesome and yes that how it all began. I remember as a kid watching the good stuff like DBZ Ruroni kenshin YuYu Hakusho samurai champloo and all the other original cartoons that came on toonami at the time as well as a plethora of other anime i found on the web, and through that i gradually stat to think of my own characters, well at first i wished i could do stuff like turn into a sayain or be a bad-assed rouge samurai. And thats when I began to teach myself to draw so that I could come up with awesome stories and memorable characters and the rest is history
