Traits and Elements v2 (and VT is clueless)

It was my birthday last week, and you know what that means - special post time!

You know I can't stay away.

So I've had some thinking time while my trusty sidekick Titania (that's weird-person-who-names-inanimate-objects-speak for "my computer") has been away for repairs. And I've come to four conclusions.
