That would be nice, but I think that would only work as a temporary solution until I use it in battle and accidentally shift it back to its original state. As for why, I'm using the metal as the core of the staff since it can separate most elements and I can regenerate it by combining the fire and earth elements. If I wanted to separate the metal and electric sub-elements, I'd have to use something else as the core for the staff which would need to be able to take a lot of stress. Since I only have the basic primary elements available, my only other option would be to make the core with the earth element, which would make my staff too heavy to use and I would risk destabilization when trying to make more of the metal sub element.

To be fair, these elements seem to be [i]exceptionally[/i] arbitrarily defined. Why not just smush some incredibly strong crystal like diamond into the definition of "element" and use that instead?
