For the record:

No martial art has an elemental aspect unless it explicitly says it
does. The only aspected martial arts so far are Jade Mountain and the
Immaculate arts. Consider the text in AB:E a revision based on a more
unified vision of how MA Charms actually work.

That's canon.

Also, a perfect defense is a defense that provides total and certain
protection for a fixed cost according to its mode. You pay X and in
exchange, you don't roll a defense. You just avoid the attack. Seven
Shadow Evasion is a perfect defense. However, the applicability of
perfection still applies. If the attack cannot be dodged, then Seven
Shadow Evasion cannot dodge it. Period. Heavenly Guardian Defense is
actually the exception, since it is capable of parrying the
unblockable as per its specific effects. Most perfect defenses do not
receive this perk.

Unfortunately, there is no official term to differentiate the handful
of perfect defenses that trump applicability restrictions from the
rest. I've personally used the term "Transcendently Perfect" for
these effects when talking to other authors or making posts, but that
isn't official by any stretch. Perhaps the term might prove useful to
you or maybe you can come up with something better.

I hope that's of some help.
