    Ok, I'll take the troll bait once again. First, I don't have a disease, I have a disability. Reporting your post for that insult. I only mentioned it once in the vain hope of better understanding. Not once did I ever use it as an excuse for anything.
    Second, I didn't use it as an excuse.
    Third, I don't "want to watch the world burn." I don't find any of the stuff going on here fun at all and I would like it to stop.
    Fourth.
    Well my thread is number one and most of the posts here lead me to stick with my earlier conclusion. Thanks for accepting the opportunity to be assessed though.
    I meant any OTHER thread and you know it. Why would I point you to look at this thread while you're already reading it? I'm not a dumbass, and neither are you. You should know that the intention of my statement was to have you look at the other threads where I have made intelligent and/or non-controversial statements to show you that I'm not a "dumbass" nor someone who enjoys this sort of thing.

    Now maybe I can resist the urge to continue to take troll bait.

    Troll bait? Is that a personal attack? I am merely stating my ideas and thoughts and drawing my conclusions from what you are saying. If you don't find it fun and want to resist the urge, no one is forcing you to keep posting here - you are making that conscious decision yourself.

    As for definition of disease or disorder, that is subjective and more accurately it is a personal preference for verbiage. I'll let the definitions here hi-light what I mean.


    Asperger syndrome or Asperger's syndrome or Asperger disorder is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
    A disability may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental or some combination of these.
    Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations.
    A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, and/or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with many diseases can alter one's perspective on life, and their personality.

    Ignoring the majority of this thread being derailed...

    I approve of the OP's topic and think that many of the ideas presented would provide a benefit without being over powered. While I prefer a prismatic staff I could accept a light-based elementals and a dark-based elementals. Mage inventory is already a huge issue and even this isn't going to fix everything. Despite the arguments brought against it I think that considering the work load involved that it is going to be something that has to be earned by doing basically every damn trial and the possibly another to fuse them... That is a ton of work and would force me to do trials I hadn't intended to do in the first place.

    Alhanelem, you should make a choice. Do you want to get along with others on this forum or not? You say that people are attacking you but perhaps you've missed why. There is a way you should present an argument or a disagreement and the way you've done so tends to piss people off. I don't particularly care for it either. I'm not sure if the whole devil's advocate thing is just in your nature or if you really just have a hard time saying what you mean but either way... Look at the avalanche of negative responses to what you post and think on it before you continue. These arguments are a two way street and other's are taking your bate as much as you theirs.

    I don't want to read through 12 pages of people arguing with you. The personal bickering should take place via PMs or make a new thread for it. I think the majority of us would appreciate an adult conversation.

    So you want me to selectively hunt for evidence towards your point and ignore all statements to the contrary?
