In this venerable one's world, the solid essence of four elements can be found most easily in jades of the appropriate color. Metal is silver or gold.
[He picked up a hunk of silver and three low-quality jades colored green, red, and an off-white veering into yellow.]
Silver for metal. Green for Wood. Red for Fire. Yellow for Earth. There is no black, so water will have to do for itself.
[Unfortunate since it wasn't a 'solid' form and could not be easily held in place should the magical-elements react well to it.]
The higher the quality of the jade, the more power that can be channeled. These are poor examples, but will do for testing. Magic-elements related to the Five Elements are more powerful when channeled through the appropriate material. This may not be the case in this world. The 'magitech' functions differently than this venerable one is familiar with.
Since you have begun with your psionics magic-element, then let us continue with channeling it through the 'conductors' of the Five Elements before moving on to another magic-element.
