Geomancy (about which I've read some) seems to me as having a lot to offer, but this hits literally the *one* thing I've been puzzled about: it seems to me that, for a lot of stuff, the 4 elements mean roughly the same as they mean in wider Western elemental attributions, but Albus and Rubeus look reversed to me. Of course you sound Albus-y to me, but I have no idea about why that'd be purely-watery instead of purely-airy - and I mean that for other figures, air and water *do* fit my expectations from other reading. As for "eight kinds of ways" - who says every figure represents some kind of capable programmer? :)
