The element of darkness

Darkness- darkness is the element of shadows and is fuelled by grief and sorrow, darkness has 2 different abilities, the first ability is that darkness can manipulate shadows, darkness can change the shape and appearance of them, and can even move objects using the shadows they cast, this does have its limits as the power that this shadow manipulation has is directly proportional to the difference in shadow brightness and of the total surface area of the shadow, darkness’s other ability is emotional manipulation, this means that darkness can read your emotions better than anyone else, they can relate to you at a level as thought they feel what you are feeling, but they can also do the same in reverse, darkness can make you feel how it feels, and the last ability darkness has is empathetic shock, this is a powerful ability that turns emotional and mental health into physical health, this means that if you are emotionally wounded, you gain a physical wound of the same magnitude, this ability does have one drawback, each negative emotion, each negative experience can only be used once, this also has another weakness being that its powers aren’t as strong when submerged underwater, now for the element of darkness itself, darkness is the only element that hates being an element as it comes with 2 abilities that darkness sees as curses, the first curse is that elements are immutable and impossible to change, most of the time this is a good thing, but what if you regret doing something, and you hate yourself for doing it, but because darkness cant change, its doomed to repeat its mistakes over and over again, this is where elements being immortal also becomes a curse, darkness just wants nothing more but to help as it is very empathetic, but the down side of it is that every decision it makes, darkness feels all the hurt that it causes, and even has its own personal list of failures, this is a list of everything that it has done that it regrets, it remembers how it has killed countless creatures when the elements wiped out the dinosaurs, and it remembers all the pain that each one of them has gone through, it remembers every hateful thought, and takes it personally, darkness is the element that tries to stay by itself because it knows what you hate about it, and feels guilty that it can change to stop it from happening again.
