elemental spirit

Force of nature

An elemental spirit is a supernatural being associated with one of the classical elements—earth, water, fire, or air.

In occult and fantasy traditions, these include gnomes (earth), undines (water), salamanders (fire), and sylphs (air).

The concept treats natural forces as inhabited by conscious entities: The witch summoned an elemental spirit to guard the forest.
