Alien Elementals

Alien Elements are unique and powerful substances or forces which rare Elemental powers have a special affinity for. These elements do not naturally occur in our plane of existence, but rather come from alternate universes and other dimensions, with the Elemental acting as the conduit through which the substance is able to leak into our reality. No two Alien Elementals are the same, and their unique Traits and Manifestations will often make an already unusual ability even stranger.

Normally, an elemental needs to find a natural or mechanically made source of their element to bask in or risk decaying themselves. However, as the bodies of Alien Elementals are connected directly to the source of their element, they are protected from the standard natural decay so long as they keep a small construct comprised of their element on or around themselves. On the other hand, their overflow decay from using their power is as bad or even worse than ordinary Elementals.

The adaptations that Elementals gain from their natural element, such as Fire elementals being partially resistant to flames, are shared by Alien Elementals as well. While the nature of this varies with each type of alien material, they do gain similar passives to those of standard Elementals. For the purposes of power design, the person submitting an Alien Elemental must add a basic element description regarding is properties and what kind of passive resistances will result.

Example Element
Alexandrite (credit to Argent): An element of extremely mysterious properties and powerful electromagnetic capability. It is less dense than steel but more durable in some ways. Its users are able to generate a hard ceramic crystal, which in turn creates powerful electromagnetic fields and electric charges. Users of Alexandrite are partly resistant to electricity and electromagnetic fields due to the electric nature of their element; a necessary ability due to their bodies being able to channel that electricity elsewhere and expel it. This ability does not make them immune to electricity but it does allow them to survive holding more than 10,000,000 Volts in their body for up to 6 seconds. Notably, they also have a great sense of direction due to their body's interactions with the planet's magnetic fields.
