Water is also more likely to quench fire than wind, as I already said.
>_> based on what? If the wind is strong enough it will put out the fire. If the water is vast enough, it will put out the fire. The two are as likely to put out fire. If I blow a candle, it goes out. If I throw water on it, it goes out. If i throw ice on it, it goes out. If I throw DIRT on it, it goes out.

Water isn't more likely to put out a fire than anything else. The conditions for putting out a fire are universal for everything, drop its heat faster than it can produce it, or otherwise interrupt the process. Dirt, water, ice, wind...they all have to meet the same condition: be bigger/stronger than the flames they are trying to put out.

Again, this is why elemental wheels are illogical. There are no such thing as "elements" in the magical sense, so *anything* is convoluted.
