So, Moose informed me last night that the elemental wheel can move both ways -- clock or counterclockwise -- which pretty much busts my theory, as I can't yet explain coherently how a light concentration of aether (astral) would suddenly become dense (umbral), or visa versa, upon transitioning to another element. The theory as it stands would dictate the element is plainly unable to change into another, continually bouncing between umbral and astral aspects of itself. This is all probably gibberish to most, but for those that follow, thems the breaks. :\
