... Yes. What exactly are you saying here? I know that the classes would affect the use of the aspect, but you make it sound like, within the context of the aspect alone, elemental powers will inherently try to destroy each other, or something. Would the aspect user only be able to use his powers when two opposing forces are present, and turn the perfectly natural force of, say, fire turning ice into water, into some sort of death ray?

How would that even work? No element is inherently against any other element, and though they may affect each other adversely, if one destroyed the other, there eventually wouldn't be any of the second left. It's like how in Pokémon, Sudowoodo doesn't like water because it's Rock type, but exposing it to water won't create an explosion or destroy the surroundings, but it will make Sudowoodo attack you. The main thing that'll create destructive force when exposed to water is an alkali metal, and that's just going back into chemical elements, where you evidently did not want to go.

Contradiction is still a good idea, but tying it into elemental power the way you did is sort of confusing. Maybe I just misread it, but it doesn't seem viable to have those two points connected.

Maybe you were thinking of something like the matter-antimatter reaction that would conceivably revert to energy in a massive explosion. Still, if that's where you want to go(which it probably isn't, given the context, but I wanted to know where you were coming from), it wouldn't be an elemental force, it would just be a quantum or chemical one.

I'm just confused now, mostly. A little detail or justification wouldn't be out of place here. Was there a particular book series or mythological background that you were trying to reference?
