Mastery of the elements is a common theme for RPG powers, and it's not just limited to mages slinging spells, either. Plenty of RPGs use elemental magic as a way to augment attacks and introduce variety in what the player can do, and how they can control the battlefield. These elements all come with their own tropes: ice to freeze enemies, lightning to stun them, and so on. Still, some RPGs manage to shake up the formula and interpret these powers in unique ways.
