Sort of. The [[Elemental Planes]] (minus [[Elemental_Planes#Plane_of_Electricity|Electricity]], which is weird for reasons most [[Warrior Mage|Warrior Mages]] do not understand) are not places with material to plunder so much as they are singularities. The Plane of Fire is nothing more and nothing less than the platonic ideal of Fire. There's no space, no ground, no horizon, no time. Everything is Fire.

So you're not really grabbing a piece of ice from the [[Elemental_Planes#Plane_of_Water|Elemental Plane of Water]] as much as you are summoning a concept and empowering it with the very notion of Water.

>>1. Is the material we're working with raw material from an elemental plane, as far as our characters know?

Sort of. The Elemental Planes (minus Electricity, which is weird for reasons most Warrior Mages do not understand) are not places with material to plunder so much as they are singularities. The Plane of Fire is nothing more and nothing less than the platonic ideal of Fire. There's no space, no ground, no horizon, no time. Everything is Fire.

So you're not really grabbing a piece of ice from the Elemental Plane of Water as much as you are summoning a concept and empowering it with the very notion of Water.

The rest I'll food-for-thought about for now.
