When ElementalPersonalities are in play, these three elements can also produce a dynamic in which the fire and water associated characters are constantly [[FireWaterJuxtaposition in conflict]] with one another, whereas the [[PacifistWind diplomatic and non-confrontational]] wind associated character is forced to mediate between them. Sometimes this even creates a FreudianTrio, depending on whether or not the depiction of water leans more towards its tumultous MoodSwinger side or to its more ice-related, cold, distant, and haughty side, as IceMagicIsWater.

* ''Literature/TheCityOfBrass'': The {{Elemental Embodiment}}s of Water and Air have PersonOfMassDestruction-tier powers, while those of Fire retain powerful magic even after they were stripped of most of their strength. Earth, meanwhile, is associated with bog-standard humans.
