Actually, yeah, in the games here, the concept of the "Totemic Elements" has
been used for some time, and after it came out, the Underworld Sourcebook's
"Wu Xing" seemed to have built up quite a bit of it...

Fire = Combat, Fire Manipulations
Water = Illusions & Health Magic
Air = Detection, Mental & Telekinetic Manipulations
Earth = Transformation Manipulations & Health

Granted this just general stuff, the normal +2 bonus to such things, with a
-2 towards the contacting of opposing elemental spheres type stuff...
