I disagree. I do not believe that what you described is similar to Ridge's fiction by any means. A role dependent on elements is purely illogical.

Upon further review of what Ridge said, it is. Very illogical. There are numerous elements that would have no use at all. Thus, it is similar in mechanics: Each being of the race was born with a particular power relevant to a particular job which they continued to do for their lifetime.
