Element powers are a fantasy classic. Fire is powerful, warm and dramatic. Water is calm, flexible and could put out any fire. Fans of fantasy stories already have a strong opinion about this one.
The case for “Control fire”
- Campfires and toasted marshmallows would be instant.
- You would never be cold.
- Fire powers look amazing in action.
The case for “Control water”
- You could surf any wave you create.
- You could help put out fires and water plants.
- Water beats fire in most stories.
Our take
Water. It is calmer, more useful and it beats fire in a showdown. Fire is cooler to look at, but water can surf, put out fires and water your plants.
Keep the debate going
Make it harder: what if you could also choose earth or air instead?
