Sylphs will calmly, analytically and happily give their opinion all about their Aspect. They meddle, healing or fixing any lack of it they notice. Their challenge is act upon their opinions instead of waiting by the sidelines.

A Sylph of Mind is one who encourages others to be more sensible and logical, to think things through just a bit more and don’t be so rash! Just wait and see every side of the situation before making a decision. They ALWAYS want to have a long discussion about everything before they make any kind of choice or decision or before anyone else makes a choice. They always want them to be very sure that this is indeed the right path to take. If you ask them why they do anything they will launch into a wordy explanation for why this and this was simply the most logical thing to do in this particular situation and how well they kept their cool throughout the whole ordeal.

They are great calming influences on highly emotionally charged situations. They are not only able to see things calmly and rationally while everyone freaks out, they are also able to calm people down from an emotional high by simply stating some hard facts about a situation and being all “don’t even worry, don’t panic about this illogical possibility because it’s not going happen, reason a b and c will see to it that it can’t.” The downside is sometimes they can fail to take the emotional side of things into account, forgetting that not everyone is as rational and good at keeping their cool as they are.

So some of the rational steps and plans they see as the most logical and necessary may seem cruel or harsh to others. They tend not to be good at handling emotionally situations that can’t be logic’d away, some people will be irrational and emotional no matter what they say. They see the best course of action for themselves and others as being indifferent or apathetic to emotional matters and may advise the more emotional members of the group to put a cork in it when they get too personal or impulsive. As Sylphs, they can also be pretty forceful on that front if they truly believe something is the best most logical course of action.
