the 7 elements of life?

As it's been said, different cultures and religions regard different elements. In Dragon Magick there's a few branches that view different elements, the one I studied had the 4 common elements but instead of 'spirit' the element was 'chaos'. I've also heard metal, wood, lava, and spirit.

Some people will argue certain elements are categorized under pre-existing elements [lightning being part of fire for example] or a combination of two [steam being water and air] I think the elements all come down to your personal view of whatever you feel is the right answer, most people follow air, fire, water, earth and sometimes spirit. If you feel there's different types or more than 5, go for it.
