> Water magic usually relies on either sense of serenity or rage, actually, and ice magic specifically comes from feelings of dislike and general enmity. Its control must be soft and gentle, so that one steers its course rather than try to force it to bend to one's will. Hmm... I see. A somewhat passionate and stubborn person with a(n usually) good self-control would be a match? (What about earth?) > Although the way you describe it, I'd think that it might be more fitting to call it a trickster deity or something like that. Most likely - as you could probably read out from the latter clarification, the "chaos"-part referred to chaotic behaviour, not the desire to specifically generate chaos. Oigortrõqk canonically represented unpredictability and chance (as opposed to the rather lawful stability-balance-change triad). And, well, while the canonical Oigortrõqk technically is nigh incomparably more powerful than the three others combined, then Ceterlaan is ... actually still in a fairly decent shape in spite of it all, and has furthermore seen much worse times as a planet. Never mind that they are actually significantly older than either Nkaa Raakan or Allandragian, only second to Legereraon (who actually predates the world itself) of the still-existent gods. (In the Hektareian context, all deities were the omnipresent power-absolutes of the aspects(s) they represented, so strictly spoken you can't really speak of the *amount* of power a deity possesses - but you can speak of the scope a deity's aspect covers and the laws that associate with said scope, making the deity with the broadest scope and least amount of binding laws objectively the most potent. Nkaa Raakan, for one, had a massive amount or somewhat confusing boundaries, even if the technical scope of balance is "everything", same with Legereraon and Allagrian[somewhat befittingly, the deity of change's name is occasionally subject to change].) (Always the reasons... Always. Must be some manner of terrible things. I do have the gnawing suspicion that this aspect has been reserved for something or someone who is yet to be revealed, though...) @The New Yorker: Control of fire doesn't mean control of explosions in this world, even if these things occasionally come together. Besides, I think it requires constant focus (and drain) to keep up an elemental magic manifestation of some sort...
