Second,

More quibbling. If you flip your 1st rule, "If there are no repeated elements, then you can get the highest element monster with that pool of elements" is essentially what I had written. You'll see why I flip this later (besides being a more logical if/then statement rather than a then/if).

And my Rule #4 (the 4-element monster) is really more of a 3a, in that it clarifies the situation of which parent could be returned in a setting where you know you've got duplicate elements already (it just eliminates the 4-element creature as an option).
