Explosion is a decent offensive and defensive element. With high-damaging spells that have a blast radius, it's a nice element for keeping distance between your enemies and punishing them when they attempt to use spells against you.
Element Analysis[]
Attributes
How much that attribute is
Reason
Offense
High
Explosion is marked by explosive effects that can either accumulate moderate damage to reach devastating levels or deliver high upfront damage. Notably, many of its abilities have the potential to inflict over 350 damage in a single hit.
Defense
High
Despite its impressive damage output, Explosion also boasts impressive defensive capabilities, featuring two spells that enable evasive maneuvers or defensive positioning. Its crowning achievement is the Combustion spell, which masterfully combines projectile absorption with a massive, high-damage explosion that also knocks enemies back.
Speed
Above Average
Explosion's spells are nicely paced, but not the fastest. However, this is offset by the need for precision, as many of its abilities rely on accurate aiming and timing to unleash their full potential.
Mana
Below Average
Although its opening spell bears some resemblance to a more powerful Great Fire Blast, Explosion's overall mana efficiency is surprisingly low. In fact, it would likely have even lower mana if not for the initial spell's high mana cost.

Conclusion[]
Explosion is a powerful element with powerful abilities and significant damage. The Combustion Shield Spell, which doesn't enclose the user and can be utilised to do extremely high damage to a player using projectiles, is the highlight of this element. Furthermore, Explosion can be used to generate powerful blasts, capable of knocking away enemies and causing further destruction.
It should be noted, however, that the majority of spells in this element are tough to execute and weak if used incorrectly. But, in the hands of individuals who understand its proper application, it could prove to be a lethal force. Therefore, it is vital that users of this element heed my advice and use it appropriately.
