Suppose someone wanted to drop metal into their inner planes. What para- and quasiplanes would we get from this? I need: earth, air, water, and negative energy mixes (I figure metal + fire = Slag, metal + positive energy = Treasure).

Alright, I dunno where you'd put Metal in the planes so I'll just make all possible convergences...

Metal + Air - Glitter :D
Metal + Water - Quicksilver
Metal + Fire - Slag
Metal + Earth - Ore
Metal + Positive - Treasure
Metal + Negative - Rust

Yang Chi (positive energy)

Radiance Sparks Flowers Minerals Steam

Fire -- Slag -- Metal -- Paper -- Wood -- Fossils -- Earth -- Ooze -- Water -- Alcohol

Ash Rust Fungi Dust Salt

Yin Chi (negative energy)

The Paraelemental Plane of Paper (populated by sentient origami creatures) is halfway between Metal and Wood; the Plane of Fossils, known as the Petrified Forest or the Island of Black Trees, is between the Planes of Wood and Earth. The plane of Alcohol, or Firewater, is between the elemental planes of Water and Fire.

The negative quasielemental planes are Ash, Rust, Fungi, Dust, and Salt.
The positive quasielemental planes are Radiance, Sparks (lightning), Flowers, Minerals, and Steam.

Alternative Elemental Conjunction

----------- Negative Energy Plane
----------------Plane of Cold
----------------- Plane of Air
Plane of Metal - Plane of Blood - Plane of Water
-----------------Plane of Fire
--------------Plane of Radiance
----------- Positive Energy Plane

This setup creates a dichotomy between life and death. Heat represents the warm breadth of life while chill represents the cold of undeath. In the center is blood, the river of existence. Fuel for undead and living alike.

Its just an idea, however. (Probably best utilized in an Arctic setting where Cold and death are synonymous while Fire and life are also equated).

Primus, your first guess sounds about right. I was thinking a Japanese-style plane setup (Air, Earth, Fire, Metal, and Water, where Metal has no opposite). So, having elemental meetings with all four planes sounds about right. A typical Oriental setup (Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, Wood; Metal and Wood are opposites, Earth has none) would probably make use of all of those but Glitter (since there's no Air) and the paraelemental planes on the thread for Wood, except that Pollen wouldn't be used. So, Glitter, Ore, Slag, Quicksilver, Treasure, and Rust it is! Thanks for the help!
