elemental spirits

Forces made sentient

Elemental spirits are supernatural beings associated with the four classical elements—earth, air, fire, and water.

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

The concept appears in fantasy fiction, role-playing games, and New Age spirituality, where elementals may be summoned, bound, or worshipped: The wizard called upon elemental spirits to guard the sacred grove.
