'''Basic Trope''': A spell or attack that's outside the ElementalRockPaperScissors system.
* '''Straight''': The "Astra" spell lacks an elemental attribute, which allows it to [[NoSell bypass]] elemental resistances.
* '''Exaggerated''': The Astra spell also lacks a damage type, allowing it to bypass defences against magic.
* '''Downplayed''': Astra does technically have an element that can be resisted, but it's so rare that it functions like a non-elemental spell in practice.
* '''Justified''':
** The wizard who created the Astra spell fueled it with PureEnergy, so it naturally lacks an element.
** The magical cosmology of the setting has a "grey" which is outside of the normal elements — it's the raw magic they form from. While difficult, making spells from it is possible.
* '''Inverted''':
** Astra is ''every'' [[AllYourColorsCombined element at once]], which actually makes it ''easier'' to block or downgrade.
** Astra isn't a non-elemental spell... it's an ''anti''-elemental spell. It uses the PowerOfTheVoid to literally annihilate whatever it hits.
* '''Subverted''': It turns out that Astra is actually a Star Element spell, and it can be easily blocked or used with the right spells.
* '''Double Subverted''': There is no "Star" Element; spells with the "Star" element ''lack'' the traditional elemental energies.
* '''Parodied''':
** At the Wiz-Mart there's a sale on 2% de-elemented, vitamin enriched spells.
** The non-elemental substance is a [[BizarroElements Bizarro Element]] like cats or pudding. The spell description even states "Nobody expects you to fire a stream of ."
* '''Zig Zagged''': Astra is a Non Elemental spell, except it's really the previously unknown Star Element, but it turns out stars don't ''have'' any element.
* '''Averted''': Astra is a normal, elemental spell.
* '''Enforced''': The executives want a card game and a non-elemental would put a twist in gameplay.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, you mean that the obviously celestial spell-- the one for which we have no concept of how it works-- is outside of the elemental system? No fooling."
* '''Invoked''': Wizlord superheats his Fire spells until they transcend Fire, [[BeyondTheImpossible break the laws of magic]], and become raw power.
* '''Exploited''': Wizlord knows that Sorcerella uses the spell Astra, so he creates a seemingly useless spell that protects against "[[PowerOfTheVoid Nothing]]" and will block her non-elemental spells.
* '''Defied''': Sorcerella is perfectly capable of casting Astra, but prefers to use regular elemental spells since they deal better damage and a counter-protection spell can peel most resistances off.
* '''Discussed''': "I have ''got'' to get that Astra spell, it's like a Swiss Army knife!"
* '''Conversed''': "So if Astra is "outside" the elemental system, does that mean there's maybe parallel elements in their own element wheel?"
* '''Implied:''': Sorcerella unexpectedly manages to defeat Wizlord's fire spells despite the fact that she can't cast water spells or anything else that could defeat them. It seems she discovered a new technique, but this is not explained at all.
* '''Deconstructed''': Because it's so unfamiliar and capable of defeating anything, Astra turns into a FantasticNuke that wreaks havok on Sorcerella's realm.
