I am Culex, Dark Knight of Vanda. From Super Mario RPG. Remember?
Never mind. Six brave warriors are facing me in battle. I could defeat them myself, but I'd prefer to let my elemental crystals do most of the work. I can direct each crystal to attack one enemy. If all six enemies are transformed effectively, the battle is as good as over. And if you figure out my strategy for me, I'll give you a cool reward!
The Fire Crystal oxidizes the enemy.
The Ice Crystal freezes things.
The Shadow Crystal darkens things.
The Thunder Crystal reduces the enemy to a sound.
The Water Crystal makes stuff wet.
The Wind Crystal knocks enemies on their side.

Hints: Each crystal describes a transformation on one of the words on the left, into another word that fits into the blanks on the right. I'll give a hint for each crystal, from most obvious to least. The Wind Crystal can only really apply to one of the "words" at the bottom. The Shadow Crystal has to apply to a color. The Ice Crystal applies to LAVA, yielding a particular type of volcanic rock. The Water Crystal is tricky: It applies to the spelling of a word to "make it wet," i.e., remove dryness. The Thunder Crystal could apply to MOUSE or CAT, but if you put MEOW next to CAT then the highlighted cells won't spell any real word. To "oxidize" a word with the Fire Crystal, add an O (oxygen) somewhere in the word.
