Sort of. It's like a common trait of a lot of fanfics to incorporate elemental combat into their characters. What we try to do is create basic techniques, or more advanced ones, for people to use. Yes, a lot of them are from Pokemon, because it has some of the most well-known basic techniques around. I'm currently the only person working on improving these techniques, and very few people seem to use them, but that's alright with me, I'm doing it to help the people who do.

Besides, once you get into roleplaying, as this wiki has, you can't just have powers of the same name from your own fan universes that function completely differently, you need generalized elements and yes, techniques. This is the next step of the generalized elements, different ways to combine them. I also think that there could be multiple aspects of a combination, because most elements have a number of aspects that can be used to combine, so while an element might have a good, solid combination (I'll use Plasma as an example, you could combine different traits from the two elements (Fire's raw power instead of it's heat and the speed of electricity over the electromagnetic force), you get a completely different combination. What I hope is for some of these different combinations to emerge, so we can work on combining them into "Styles" or "Forms" of usage.

Also, it helps to get rid of some of the really stupid names.
