If you're responding to my edit, then you should be asking to explain how water -> fire makes more sense than wind -> fire, no? In which case I can point you to the wiki link again, every culture believing in basic elements used that combination, with wind being opposite of earth. Water is also more likely to quench fire than wind, as I already said.

Changing it to fire <-> wind is just changing it for the sake of changing. While every game strives for originality, there is good and bad originality. Ver 1.0 was bad originality and the wheels are part of it.

As for water <-> lightning, they just coupled fire <-> ice and wind <-> earth, so the only ones left were water and lightning. I never stated water <-> lightning makes more sense than wind -> fire, I only said the other systems made more sense as a whole. One absurdity is better than... uh... about 6?
