The “better virsions of you” tier would mostly go in solid/good, but why would you pick most of those if you are looking for a playstyle instead of aesthetics?
Snow is just a worse ice (debatable, but ice has better bleed combo so better imo).
Ash is just a worse poison (if you want an AOE DOT playstyle, poison is better).
Iron is just a worse gold (if you’re going to go for a hard hitter just go all the way, pussy. they play EXACTLY the same, i don’t care if iron is a bit faster, it changes basically nothing).
Ink is just a worse water (pretty self explanatory).
Light is just a worse shadow (At that point, the small change in speed is minimal but the change in damage is huge).
Wood may be good with a second magic but that doesn’t change the fact that it sucks right now.
Crystal is just a worse glass but it needs changes to be anywhere near useful.
Plasma and fire are basically the same magic, fight me.
Lightning could be put in “better versions” category because i’s pretty much the same as light and shadow. But it’s effect is cool so whatever.
In my opinion acid is better than magma, it’s so much faster and speed is what makes a lot of good magics good. However, i didn’t put magma in the “better versions” category because it has it’s uses as a status remover.
Earth should be changed imo, why the fuck does it get bonus damage from bleed? make it faster so i can feel like a fucking earth bender and remove it’s bonus damage on bleeding targets k thanks
Snow isn’t really the same as sand because snow is for liquids and wind
and sand is for solids and heat based magics
they just both have piles
and ink is more supportive than water
