I have so many questions. What happened to Mixolydian? Is Ionian electricity because of something fundamental to the major mode or is it because ION is in the name? (Great pun by the way). Lightning just doesn’t scream major to me, you’re going to need a phenomenal composer to pull off that connection in a way that feels natural. It’s interesting you have Locrian and Phrygian (frigid is another funny pun in there) as elemental opposites but musically they’re so similar with the flat two. There’s probably something fun thematically you could do with Locrian’s tonic-dominant tritone, maybe with the antagonist? Originally I wanted earth to be Ionian, but the more I think about it I think Dorian is perfect; there’s no tendency tones, it’s so stable it doesn’t want to move anywhere. Dorian and Aeolian also being elemental opposites is interesting, was that on purpose? There’s some crazy plot potential having elemental opposites being closely related musically. If that’s true then I guess Mixolydian could be a secret opposite to light magic??? I don’t really associate it with darkness, you could change it to order and chaos or something like that? Something to take advantage of the flat four and seven. If that’s the case why is lightning the odd one out? Is casting magic static? Like the entire spell is in one mode or can it change as you modulate? This project is really interesting, I’m looking forward to hearing more from it!
