All of the elements have spirits and some of them are quite common in the arts: the gnomes and elves of the earth element and the mermaids of the water. Less known is the salamanders' rule of fire and the sylphs of the air.
Each element is given responsibilties. Sylphs direct the modeling of snowflakes and gathering the clouds. The Greeks believed it was the sylphs that spoke through the Oracles. Some believe them to be The Muses.
