Matter

The Matter element is an elemental energy confusing to many. Believed by some researchers to be a form of dark matter, hence the name, and to others an energy created from the channelled life force of from its user.

Whenever generated, Matter Element appears as solid-appearing energy, typically taking on a black colour, mixed with either grey, purple, or blue. Observers have said ranged attacks of the element's users appear as if a void is being created, with light and colour distorting around the element. A breath attack would look either like a distorting darkening ray, or a near solid beam of energy.

Matterblight disables all equipment and food skills on an affected hunter for the duration of the blight, meaning all effects positive and negative are nullified. Severe Matterblight disables them for longer. Extreme Matterblight will change all positive skills into negative equivalents, and if they don't have any they are disabled as normal. The Extreme Blight will also remove all food skills entirely, meaning curing the blight will not restore them.

Matter strikes at the life-energy and the structure of an affected targets body, nullifying out any artificial boosts to their power, ability and well-being. One who is injured by this element often find themselves unable to preform things better than others and emotionless.

The blights are cured with the usual methods of waiting out its effects or using a Nulberry.

Matter would be a rare element because of its nature, so I see particularly smart and/or powerful. Of course it would be up to other users to come up with explanations how their monsters can create or utilise the Matter Element.
