Rules of ED"S

Rules for ED's

Here are the normal rules for Elemental Dignities
Normal Rules for ED's

1. Fire and Air are friendly and active and strengthen each other
2. Water and Earth are friendly and passive and strengthen each other
3. Fire and Water are enemies; they weaken each other
4. Air and Earth are enemies; they weaken each other
5. Fire and Earth strengthen each other but are neutral
6. Water and Air strengthen each other but are neutral

The only difference between the normal rules and the rules I use to determine elemental dignities is that 'Neutral Elements DO NOT Strengthen Each Other!'.  The word 'Neutral' means just that and since the elements are neutral they don't effect one another.
Don's Rules for ED's

1. Fire and Air are friendly and active and strengthen each other
2. Water and Earth are friendly and passive and strengthen each other
3. Fire and Water are enemies; they weaken each other
4. Air and Earth are enemies; they weaken each other
5. Fire and Earth are neutral and do not effect each other elementally
6. Water and Air are neutral  and do not effect each other
elementally

Note: When you see Fire and Air are friendly this also means;
Air and Fire strengthen each other
Fire and Fire strengthen each other
Air and Air strengthen each other
The same thing goes for Water and Earth;
Water and Earth strengthen each other
Earth and Water strengthen each other
Water and Water strengthen each other
Earth and Earth strengthen each other
In other words any combination of Fire and Air ... OR Water and Earth elements/cards are friendly.
Note: Just because the rules say certain elements are friendly - that does NOT necessarily make that a 'good thing'.  For instance; Fire & Fire usually means something - a situation and so forth - is 'excessively active'.  Air & Air can mean 'Very active, unstable'.
