Flop:
I have never seen metal referred to as an element, but
various other fantasy series that I have read have
introduced a fifth element. Elizabeth Haydon has Ether
as the fifth element, the substance her world's
legends say the stars are made from. My personal
favourite is in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, in
which the fifth element is Spirit. Or how about the
movie The Fifth Element, in which the fifth element
was... Mila Jovovich.
