Wu-Xing Element: Fire (20%) + Water (20%) + Ice (20%) + Thunder (20%) + Dragon (20%)

1) This element is unique because it uses all five elements, though it isn't complete 100%. The reason why is because the elements need one another in order to be made properly, unless monsters have other means.

Examples
 * Heat from the sun is needed to make Thunder.
 * The melting of ice is needed to make Water.
 * The freezing of water is needed to make Ice.
 * Sparks of lightning are needed to make Fire.
 * Unity of Fire, Water, Ice, and Thunder is needed to make Dragon.
 * A hybrid of all five elements coming together is Wu-Xing.

2) At most, I believe only one monster per person due to the rarity of the element, though I say this element will be more common with Elder Dragons.

3) This element comes from multiple different means compared to most other elements. Generally, it comes from getting hit by five different elemental attacks or by being overwhelmed in a combination of elemental attacks. This element's blight is called Wu-Xingblight. It changes the element/aliment of a weapon for Blademasters while it changes the coatings and shots that can be used for Gunners to their opposites. The blight also changes the elemental resistances on armor sets to their opposite resistances. For example, a weapon using the Fire Element would switch to the Ice Element if affected by this blight. Unlike other elemental blights, the opposite is needed to cure the blight like a Firedouse Berry. Though this may seem troublesome to some, it actually can be used as an advantage against monsters.

4) This element is based on the Wu Xing, sometimes called the Five Elements. This is also how the element gets its name.

5) Thus far, I'm only thinking of four monsters that will use this element.
