Water
The most common of the elements, but certainly not the weakest. Water elementals can manipulate water’s shape, temperature, flow, and much more. Some may even someday be able to create entire tsunamis.
Flaws: Those possessing this element may experience an excessive amount of tears, snot and sweating at times. They must watch out for water buildup in their lungs when using their powers too much.
Weaknesses: Water cannot be created out of thin air, so dry places may hinder a water elemental’s abilities.
Earth
Earth is the second most common element. Perhaps one of the most versatile elements, Earth elementals can manipulate rocks, sand, plants, metals, and can even talk to animals!
Flaws: Earth is an extremely taxing element, so those possessing the element may experience frequent physical exhaustion, bloody noses, and muscle soreness.
Weaknesses: Earth elementals must be grounded to use their abilities. Meaning, they can’t use them while in midair, or swimming underwater. They cannot create their element, they can only control.
Air
The most graceful of elements, air elementals may seem weaker than the others, but they are anything but. Air elementals not only can manipulate wind, but they can control the weather as well.
Flaws: Those possessing this element may experience breathlessness, lightheadedness, and popping joints.
Weaknesses: Closed spaces. It is difficult to control air in smaller, closed spaces, like caves and inside buildings.
Fire
Fire is one of the most destructive and purest of elements. Fire elementals can create, shape and manipulate fire and light, and are unable to be burned. Cold temperatures do not affect them, and they have the capability to become as powerful as a mini sun.
Flaws: Those who possess this element may experience issues with body temperature in the form of fevers, overheating, and heat exhaustion.
Weaknesses: A fire elemental cannot create flames when wet, and it is difficult to keep their flames lit in places with thinner air / little oxygen.
Aether
The rarest of elements, and Like Earth, it is very versatile. Aether elementals possess strange and powerful otherworldly abilities, they are able to control their spirit, use astral projection, summon spirits, create illusions, and even temporarily steal the powers of others.
Flaws: Aether is a very powerful element, varying in the drawbacks it may cause. The most common include: Hallucinations, migraines, night terrors, insomnia, sleep paralysis, and overall exhaustion.
Weaknesses: Aether is extremely difficult to wield, and is easy to mess up. Stronger techniques come at a price.
