Looking for opinions on a "Sand" Blast theme

I tend to make characters in themes.. Ice, Electric, Fire etc..

I have a Dark/Stone tank named Sandstone and a Staff/Dark tank named SandStorm and the Dark powers are recolored to look like sand..

So now I am thinking of a Sandblast character most likely a corruptor. I dont like Dark Blast ( I hate the little skulls on some of the attacks ).. I am thinking of trying Water Blast and coloring it like sand when it comes out.. problem is secondary.. it needs to look like sand.

I am thinking maybe poison as an option maybe even cold..

Any other thoughts ??

Thank you in advance.


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I saw someone do nrg/ff corruptor or defender with yellow coloration, it was pretty good.

Storm summoning would mostly work... Although if you want the 'sand' to be a yellow/orange, you're out of luck for snowstorm/freezing rain. This is also the case for the entire Ice Manipulation set, as all the yellows have removed from the pallet, so you're stuck with a more red/purple-ish brown.

I'm not too sold on the colouring Ice powers to make them sand... Many powers would work, but the shields and pet have a rather distinctive crystaline motif that I'm not sure goes well with a sand theme.

Other than Storm, Radiation works... And Time manipulation is an interestiong option - the visuals could work for sand, and you have the whole "sands of time" angle to exploit (although may require a seperate unlock later on if you go premium)

I have a sonic/ defender and sonic dispersion is now a little more granular and when colored tan, looks like sand particles floating around you. It would also be something not too common anymore. Liquify could also be quicksand for you.

Time Manipulation can indeed be made to look very sand-like, although depending on how abstract your theme is, you may find some of its effects kinda weird. (healing sand?)
