Water. The new element is water. You find this after checking out an old dwermer ruin. You find a scroll and TA-DA! You now can learn water spells. Think about it; you can flush your enemies away with a mighty whirlwind or pound on them with the "water fist" spell!

This is somewhat on topic... Not sure what the fourth and fifth actually are, but in the Shivering Isles we discover the "sixth element." Flesh.

A quote from Haskill about it" "She is a powerful sorceress. She believes she has found a "sixth element," the element of Flesh. She was expelled from the Mages Guild for this belief, and for the... extreme nature of her experiments" [...]" - http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Relmyna_Verenim

Not a great idea imo, but an ok one. If they include water spells, they should be in the game from the beginning on. And they would have to actually damage the enemy, otherwise they make no real sense.

I personally would love to see water spells added to the game, unless there is a big lore thing that says there can be no water controlling :unsure:

However I can't really see how we could actually damage the enemy by throwing water at him... maybe having a spell that would spring water with the force of a water cannon?

Ah well, it most likely won't be in anyway....

Did you never play Runescape? Every fantasy game agrees ice > water

What about Earth? And air?

Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and then Relmyna's Flesh. And the Ayleids also suspected that fire was just a corrupted version of Light.

Water is not a new element. Water is all over the place. It's part of the Frost spells. Shooting water at your opponents isn't going to do much when you could freeze them to death instead.

And why are the Dwemer your solution to EVERYTHING? It's suspected that the Dwemer didn't even use magicka, why would they have a scroll for some lost element (which, as already stated, is not lost.)

I hope you realise that there already are four elements. And yes, Water is one of them, together with Air, Earth and Fire that is. The sixth element is supposed to be Flesh, and if I'm correct, the fifth element is Light.

Edit: Damn dagnabit dammit, ninja'd :toughninja:

Wait, I must have missed something. Where are all of these talks of other elements coming from? Have these new elemental types been confirmed or is this just something we're all hoping for?

It's something that has been mentioned in past games in books, in quests, the list goes on.

Water spells usually manifest themselves with ice. I wouldn't really consider it a new element.

Where does electricity (shock) and gravity (burden) come in?

I guess those two are a considered a "force" rather than an element?

This. Just because the dwemer are lost doesn't make them some kind of hidden all-powerful race.

Its Dwemer not Dwarf... Dwe does not mean Short in Elvish, it means Deep, as in thinking not location underground......


Water is not a new element as stated.


what about Temporal (Akatosh) or Space (Lorkhan)

Or as mentioned Gravity, or Ethereal, or Daedric..etc. etc etc....
