Well as anyone knows we make L.A.S.E.R. using an Syntethic ruby.
since phot is the only element that looks like light.
how about we had gems? to change the color and to add some strange effects on phot
such as for example :

RUBY : Changes color of photons to red,spreads phot path
JADE : changes color to green,concentrates phot
AGAT(Agate) : changes color to light brown,Delays and concentrates phot(more than JADE)
PRSM(Prisme) : sets color on phot based on temp.(not loses heat),Greatly Spreads the Beam(more than RUBY)

it would be awesome,wont you think?

Could be good but not enough to make 4 Elements out of it..

surfcash

filter and glass could do all of those things

Surfcash is right, plus it'd be impossible to make AGAT and JADE because it can't concentrate photons since it doesn't know which direction is "center"

GLASS is destroyable and can't hold high temp
FILT changes its color when increase temp

On IRC we were talking about coding an indestructible refracting element. It's 2 numbers and 2 variables.

I try to do something like that to my mod

It's possible, but highly code-taking. Getting the photon beam's vx and vy will be able to compute its angle and making a center by the angle of the thickest beam passing through it will be do-able. Also you could do these with Filt and Glas.

This would be tricky as hell, mostly because arbitrarily "spreading" or otherwise condensing photons can't be done that way.

slowing down/speeding up photons would be the only way to do it; as photons slow down, they bunch up into a dense beam, but as they speed up the beam appears more sparse, either way I agree this would be over complex to implement and I can't really think of any useful uses...
