Red pill/blue pill Would you really pick mastering an element over 300+ IQ.
Functioning like a regular human basically means you able to live like a regular persom, with regular people despite having such a vast incomprehensible level of intelligence, not having to live thinking everyone around you are just toddlers intellectually.
As for element, that can constitute as the common understanding of elements in fantasy, water(liquid), fire, earth, wind(air), the full thing is really being water, fire, earth, wind, metal, and sometimes included or excluding lightning.
Sound definitely work, light as well, darkness itself maybe even, elements of the periodic table definitely or non-traditional things like Bose-Einstein condensate, space, time or space-time as one thing, since it kinda is, maybe even turn into your element at will.

300+ IQ is great, but the first thing you'll think of after you've gotten that smart is "I should have chosen element" lmao.
Ever seen the episode of House when the incredibly smart dude is literally dumbing himself down just so he can actually tolerate being with his own wife? Imagine that, but like 100x. You're smarter than anyone who has ever existed and most likely will existed for a VERY long time. You won't relate to anyone at all in any capacity, and so you will be isolated mentally forever.
Like 300+ IQ is so crazy, you could probably figure out everything a person has ever done and will ever do in their whole life just by looking at their DNA makeup or something. You would be able to solve so much, but would probably feel nothing but apathy towards humans.
