The most well-known are:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Air</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Chaos</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Corrosion</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Darkness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Earth</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Electricity</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Entropy (aka negative energy, or decay)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Evil</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Fauna</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Fire</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Flora</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Force</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Frost</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Goodness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Law</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Light</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Magic (aka lei)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Vitality (aka positive energy, or lifeforce)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Sentience (aka Soul, or Mind)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Silence</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Sound</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Water</li> </ol>The list is debated, of course. People think every duality (light/darkness, death/life, good/evil, male/female, etc.) should be excluded, other that every one should be included. Some sages lump together darkness, cold, and silence on one side, and light, fire, and sound on the other.Some argue that the perfect number of element is 256 -- 4 to the power of 4, as 4 is a magic number. It's believed there are elementals and energons for each of these elements, elemental corresponding to the material aspect, and energons, to the energetic aspect, of the element. Everything has matter and energy, including themselves -- matter has energy, and energy has matter.Combined with wonky planar anomalies, this leads to interesting things. The elemental planes, for example, are dimensions, not full-fledged planes. They are merely another way to look at the universe, ignoring normal spatial dimensions (so the "geography" of elemental planes do not match with the material plane) and everything that's not the concerned element. But this technique can be used for non-elemental planes as well -- Caleor the Elder, in his time, was famous for his discovery of the "coloural planes", where instead of phasing yourself with only a particular kind of matter, you phased you in a particular shade of color, and found yourself floating in a sea of things of the same color.Who knows?</blockquote>
