(same guy that made this post) There's something about the idea of having an element crystal that I don't think is good. I think it's the fact that the armors are kind of already doing it. kind of. I like the idea of elemental armor having some seperate passive and combat effects associated with its element, like wearing a water-style armor that gave you good water mobility, increased oxygen, etc. and as a combat effect gave you, say, the ability to knock back enemies when they hit you. Or each elemental armor set could have a unique superpower that charges during combat, or requires mana, etc. but I don't want to get too silly...

Elemental grenades would be cool but grenades are already really powerful. They'd have to sacrifice power for the addition of their effects, which I would be fine with; a grenade for each situation.
