Episode 2

Side Notes:
You can tell the type or strength by the colour of the dot in the center, green is weak, blue is normal, red is strong.

You could also do some ruby, emerald, diamond etc.... Use the water element but give it a gem solid structure. I did not have time to mock up some images.

You could do a plot with the king himself.


New Game Mechanics

Here is the really interesting part....

Each elemental will be mined just like the ore nodes. Just like skinning a bear, why can you not cannibalize a dead element, the ore is left when it dies.

This would give a whole new dimension to miners and since the mechanics should be in game already, it should be hard to make them minable. There is one catch; the dead elements need to be reworked so they are better visible as a pile on the ground is currently too small and needs to be a pile/cluster of rocks
