Aqua Regia

    As an element, is seems that Aqua Regia is not destructive enough. Only 1 current ellement is vulnerable to it, which limits its usefulness as a developer if you wanted to make a photo out of anything other than gold. Also, will AQRG have a 'solubility' trait, so that only AQRG() can dissolve substances, but AQRG(GOLD) cannot? otherwise trying to precipatate gold in a large quantity by adding SOAP would cause an infinite loop of AQRG(GOLD) +SOAP-> GOLD, then AQRG()+GOLD->AQRG(GOLD), and so on; just eating up tons of soap and distorting the picture

    Only AQRG with no ctype can dissolve gold, and once dissolved the ctype changes to GOLD. This ctype cannot be removed unless SOAP is used. Once soap touches a pixel of AQRG(GOLD), it gets converted into it's ctype, in this case, gold(so the pixel of AQRG becomes non-existant.). So infinite loops are clearly avoided.

    That is why i said AQRG actually becomes useful only after Platinum and nitrogen is added.
