Oops, I really did mean for this to be shared with the whole group.

If you're going to bring up one of your characters, I guess it isn't
really all that far from you then, is it?

To answer you, since a character of yours _is_ subject to the
answer, _I_ would have to say that your character would have
to find that out through experimentation.  Of course, you can
always get a second opinion, and a third, and a fourth, and
a fifth, etc. until you get the answer you want.

Also, I would say that you're going a bit too far in your example
of the Terovervo.  Elemental Earth isn't so much iron, carbon,
etc. (and it certainly isn't _diamond_!), it is the essence of Earth
itself.  Likewise with Air, Water, and Fire.  To learn anything
more from me, you would have to, as I said, experiment in
character.  Being a GM does not give special privilege with
regard to one's characters and their actions (unless you can
find another GM who will give it to you, that is).

Finally, thank you for reminding me of Kung Fu Tse's  classic
exhortation regarding how we should react to other's worthiness.
Let me ask you, do you actually follow those clever words you
quote in your 'sig'?

PS - I hope the Live-Action game is a real hit this year!  Have Fun!

Far be it from me to bring up one of my own chars especially after the
fact but how does the fact the elementals have no body affect a trasnmog.
Ie is body needed to transmog. What is to prevent someone of like rate
1000 (???) from transmoging into Ra? Don't say it's b/c nobody has seen
the gods b/c there are chars that have.
	Also what about spells that affect body?
	Greg said that They have a psyeduo body. That is they take up
their element but can choose to exchange it for different types. Ie
Terovervo can give up some iron to have some Dimond in his body.
