Well, in your defense we've seen a LOT of variations of Lava Release:

Kiri: Liquid Lava Iwa: Quicklime Kumo: Vulcanized Rubber Son Goku: Molten Lava

So perhaps there's different results per HOW someone mixes nature types, but that's besides the point of this debate.

I end this with standing by: Typhoon Release is an enhanced form of Wind Release a la Blaze is to Fire and Black Lightning is to Lightning
