* Okay, how exactly are "Nothing, Flowers, The Moon, Space, Illusions, and Time" elements? I understand Nothing given who it is, I mean look at the way he preached about it at the end of KHII, but the others are just weird. Plus how exactly does space make gravity somehow become intensified purely to prevent you from jumping without some other effect on you. I get how flowers messes up your eyes, pollen is painful. Illusions could reasonably make you think you're going right when you're going left, whatever. Time... makes your defense level go to one? Is there something I'm missing here that makes that make sense? As for the Moon, since when does (enter name of whoever is casting silence) yell anything about the Moon instead of "SILENCE". As for the believable elements with stupid effects, why does water drain your hp to heal enemies? As for Earth... did they run out of things to make it do, I mean come on, it halves your hp. A lot of enemies can do that anyway, even without help from some crazy element. Light, what is up with Light, it disables your minimap... in fact why didn't light get used for the blinding one and flowers get used for... anything that makes more sense than pollen burning your eyes out. (I understand the existence and the effects of everything else, so they don't bug me)
** First off, they're not really elements. "Attributes" would be a better term. Next, Time is stated to work in-game by rewinding your defense to level 1, Light can reasonably be assumed to short out a radar system based off of Nothingness (although it probably would have worked better as Blinding with Flowers doing Poison), and the idea with Moon is that it's so intimidating the enemy can't really speak... or something. You've got me on Water and Earth though.
** Time, as it pertains to Luxord, seems to be purposefully limited, so the rewinding deal makes a bit of sense. Light I figured is a take on blinding you to your environment, a la Zexion in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories|KH:CoM]]. Moon refers to lunacy or insanity, i.e. babbling like a loon, which would cause unintelligibility, which would mess with spoken spells, which matches the RPG status effect of 'silence'. Space refers to space-time, which refers to gravity. The deal with water and draining is that water is commonly associated with healing, and the fact that it also damages enemies is a gameplay element.
*** Well, the moon has no atmosphere; no air, so no sound. Alternatively, I can at least say that there's a precedent for linking the moon with silence. "[[Touhou Project|Silent Selene]]", specifically.
**** Its probably a call back to the berserk status restricting your ability to use magic of course without the added attack boost.Since the moon supposedly causes this effect they used it.
