I think a lot of players were curious and excited about a potential 3 darkness subclass; and I think have been trying to figure out what this red subclass could be. After looking at the light subclasses I strongly suspect it is the inverse of Arc rather than solar. Mainly because of the color theory that has so far held up thus far implying that this should be the case. We also know that Strand and Stasis presumably share some conceptual similarities with the unknown element. So here are some traits I’d expect it to embody:
1. [b]Gaseous[/b], I say this because stasis involves creating rigid order from chaos and produces more solid characteristics. Strand seems tied to liquid in that it requires existing with its flow and that the weave that it comes from behaves much like a liquid rather than a gas.
2. I suspect that it [b]inert or largely un reactive[/b] when it is not manipulated directly. Because this is the case for both Strand and Stasis; and would fit being the opposite to something that is charged and polarized like Arc.
3. [b]It is diffusive and strives for equilibrium.[/b] Strand is it all about laminar flow and Stasis is all about order; as a property of darkness is order the 3rd element must be adherent to some form of order and therefore cannot be chaotic and unconstrained. Diffusion is a natural property in nature in which everything strives to reach equilibrium, and although diffusion can be chaotic as it attempts to reach equilibrium, it is nonetheless purposeful and a form of order found all across nature.
To be honest I am guessing at most of these concepts but if I’m correct the most likely culprit of a property of our universe is dark matter. Dark matter is believed to be largely inert, thusly only detectable by its impact on the universe. It is constantly expanding resulting in Redshift ( everything in the universe except our local group of Galaxies is expanding away from us and eventually they will too) if our current understanding of dark matter is correct it will eventually override other forms of order in our universe causing matter to decay and the universe to reach a form of static equilibrium. If I am correct then the missing element is going to essentially be Redshift and will probably have verbs relating to this property like Decay and equilibrium.
