They're like fire and water, or, more aptly, positive and negative energy. What they actually figured out how to do was, rather than have them conflicting, constantly, and flashing off sparks, is to merge them, into an... inert substance. It's... it's like, instead of trying to combine water and fire, they used them both to make alchemists fire, although this is a fair bit less explosive."
