Shadows can only be found where light is present, but they are connected to an even deeper darkness that is ever-present, hiding from the light and waiting for the time when it will rule again, when all lights eventually go out. It could be said, that Shadow, as an extension of that deeper darkness, is the most powerful element there is, and it would be, if not for Light or Lightning, as is portrayed in this game. Light shreds apart the darkness, and in it's wake, it brings along the form of reality, colors that were before unknown, unnoticed. Light magic, in itself, belongs to pure entity. A being of innocence and hope, but not necessarily peaceful, such as Crono. He was a being that was pure of heart. For a lot of real life people, that purity is impossible to obtain, having seen too much in our lifetimes to really remain innocent. That is why Shadow magic appeals to so many people. Darkness within ones heart usually tempts one to follow a path of shadow.
I contemplated this, and actually thought about which element I would actually be. I thought about Fire, because like Lucca, I have some knowledge of electronic materials. Maybe not the same amount of knowledge, but a base amount. And I like fire.
Ice definitely wouldn't be my element because I can't even go into the water of a lake on a 90 degree day without sitting there freezing. Ice ain't my thing.
Water? Yeah, no. Can't even swim, enough said.
And, I'm definitely not a fighter, or a robot with cool lasers, so that's out, too.
As I mentioned above, Light, or Lightning, is the most powerful magic there is, due to the purity of it. It can not be wielded by one that is not pure, because it is used to pierce the darkness that envelops all else in the absence of light. I am simply unworthy.
Therefore it is fairly obvious into which class of magic I would fall, having given my explanations above. It isn't something I would choose for myself, given the option, but it is what I would be, given the reality.
