    EDIT: But that could let us have 2 summons for each element An astral and an umbral.
    I didn't know that about the astral and umbral ... but that would definitely be pretty cool to have 2 different Primal summons per each element.

    Most people don't because you have to read some lore to find it (it's in the books at the THM/CON guilds >.>)

    True, Umbral controls Earth, Ice, Water? and Astral controls Fire Wnd and Lightning? Sry going off with the FFXI facts.

    what do make of Banish and Scourge? i mean they are spell, and they do type of dark and light magic dmg.
    imo even tho Umbral and Astral the two top magic, i think they do have their own elemental as well as the 3 other elemntal they each control, some sort of modifier.

    No, there are Umbral and Astral aspect within each elements.

    Furthermore, on the twelve guardians, there are 2 for each elements, 1 umbral and one astral.

    No. As far as stats go 3 of the elementals increase Astral resistance/damage and the other 3 increase Umbral resistance/damage, but they are their own damage type.

    Banish and Scourge do Umbral or Astral damage, not light/dark. And each element can be Astral or Umbral, not only 3 can be one or the other.

    Banish and Scourge are actually made up of 33% (equal parts) damage of the 3 elements that Astral (Banish) or Umbral (Scourge) governs.

    But Astral and Umbral each govern the 6 elements, so that doesn't work.

    Wouldn't it be better to say Astral/Umbral have effect on their 3 elemental instead of the other way around? If what your saying is true, that means increasing my fire/wind/lightning mag potency should increase my astral dmg of banish?

    edit: someone beat me to that fact.

    On Siren:

    I think it's much like Doom Train or Cuchulain that are non-elemental (unless you consider bad-status inflicting an element).
