** This is backed up by Ikora's and Drifter's notes on the elements, Ikora states we do not know what came first, the Light or the Elements, but they are fundamentally linked like Twins<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/primordial-competitor?highlight=elements Primordial Competitor]</ref>, and Drifter states the Pyramid's energies are getting the Elements all twisted up<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/refining-the-recaster?highlight=elements Refining the Recaster]</ref>

* There are several types of planetary materials that responds to the Elements, Relic Crystals inside Relic Iron for Void on [[Mars]], Zeptocyte Cores inside Spinmetal Leaves for Arc in the [[Cosmodrome]], and Soliton Flares inside Helium Filaments for Solar on the [[Moon]].<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/withstand-the-elements?highlight=elements Withstand the Elements]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Void)]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements-2?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Arc)]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements-3?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Solar)]</ref>
