EPISODE 21: THE TENTH RULE: 'HE WILL ATTAIN THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO UNLOCKTHE ANCIENT SEALS' PART IV: KOLMNID; THE BASIC ELEMENTAL SEAL; THE PREPARATORYPHASE PART I: BALANCE; SIGILS: NATURES AND OUTCOMES

My Gramps continued to explain the properties of the Seal Of Endregen.

"One of the abilities granted by the Seal Of Endregen is the ability to utilize the skills and sigil of the Silver Reaper from Endregen, Rikishin. Another ability is the ability to utilize Interdimensional Gates" my Gramps explained.

"Now that I think about it, Mom's sigil possesses the ability to transform into Shinsei Ryuuenjinn, the Guardian Of The Kirisawa House Of Dream Knights and Keiran mentioned something like this earlier on so you can't be making this up" I said.

"You'll have to gradually get accustomed to the abilities granted by the Seal Of Endregen but for now, I'll begin to prepare you towards releasing the Seal Of Kolmnid" my Gramps said.

"The Seal Of Kolmnid?" I asked.

"The Seal Of Kolmnid is also known as the Basic Elemental Seal. To be able to release it, you need at the very least a literal comprehension of the Elemental Balance and elements in general. After its release you'll be able to utilize the Seven Predominant Elements of our homeworld" my Gramps said.

"Of our homeworld? Are you trying to imply that there are other elements outside our world?" I asked.

"That is true. Though most other elements are more complex versions of those that exist on our world" my Gramps explained.

"I see" I said.

"In our reality, the Seven Predominant Elements are Fire, Wind, Earth, Time, Water, Lightning and Light. These elements are divided into two major categories out of which a part fall under the category of Elements Of Generation and a part fall under the category of Elements Of Destruction. The Elements Of Generation include Water, Wind, Earth and Light. The Elements Of Destruction include Fire and Lightning" my Gramps explained.

"What about the Element Of Time?" I asked.

"You noticed that it didn't fall under any of the categories? Well Time is both an Element Of Generation and Destruction. It falls under both categories and can be helpful or harmful depending on how it is utilized. By studying history, you'll notice that there are periods of great progress and periods of great destruction. Time is thus a Neutral Element" my Gramps explained.

"Interesting" I thought about my Gramps' words deeply.

"Your current transformation in a sense connotes Time as well. Your cousin Mitsuki also shares an affinity for Time. People with this affinity often possess the most balance out of other affinity types since their deep comprehension of history grants them an immense knowledge of cause and effect and are also recognized as the wisest of all element users because they have a comprehension for both good and evil, positives and negatives. This knowledge can also be utilized either positively or negatively. But I'll set that aside for now" my Gramps said.

I sighed.

"For now, just focus on explaining the basics of the concept of Balance" I said.

"Indeed, I believe that would be the prudent thing to do. Even though the elements fall under antithetical categories, they share some traits in common. The elemental borders that govern their capabilities and limitations are not rigid or absolute but rather fluid and cyclical in nature. One element may possess the ability to transform into another element, to nullify the effects of another element or to amplify the effects of another element. In a sense you could consider some elements as 'parents', some as 'rivals' and some as 'comrades'" my Gramps explained.
