elemental beings
Forces made manifest
Elemental beings are supernatural creatures associated with the classical elements—earth, water, fire, and air.
In Western occult tradition, these include gnomes (earth), undines (water), salamanders (fire), and sylphs (air).
The concept appears in fantasy literature, role-playing games, and various spiritual practices: The wizard summoned an elemental being to do his bidding.
Sometimes shortened to elementals.
