Need some help rewriting Skylor’s element for an AU (also she’s borrowing Lloyd’s old animal symbol since he’s not taking it back anytime soon)
BlockTalk Summary
The user /u/AggressiveSail8142 is seeking suggestions for rewriting Skylor's elemental power in a Ninjago AU (Alternate Universe) to better fit the team dynamic. They're looking for ideas that are naturally occurring and avoid overlap with existing elements.

The OP believes the Ouroboros symbolism wouldn't translate well for Skylor. If they were to redesign the symbol from scratch, it would also take cues from the Anacondrai symbol.
For LEGO fans creating their own Ninjago AUs, brainstorming new elemental powers can be a fun way to expand the Ninjago universe.

That and the power of amber conceptually could be kind of broken, and considering I want Lloyd’s element to be able to retain the four elements of creation as part of this AU like he did in his early days… having two ninja with...
