Is lightning a element?

Normally it is not regarded to be one of the four cardinal 'mythical' or 'magical' elements. Those spots are taken by fire, air, water and earth.If you are talking about a scientific element like magnesium or sodium, lightning is not an element.Concerning the mythical elements however, it's really your own personal preference. I personally deem lightning as an element and simply make them five elements.Finally, I believe there is (don't quote me on this) an ancient Chinese element pentagram that contains Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal. Once again lightning is excluded.I suppose that overall to answer your question simply it is not an element.Hope this helped.(And yes, my name is deliberately wrong)
