Elemental Powers is a super trope for powers that are attuned with the elements. I did a wick check as I noticed many cases of illegal subbullets (as in, subbulleting tropes, which is not allowed), and I wondered how bad it was. I also noticed in the check that it was used when a trope for the individual element could have been used instead.

The results:

• Inline/no subbullets, yet valid: 20.83/67 = 31.1%
• Subbullets that abide with policy: 7/67 = 10.4%
• Subbullets that violate policy: 13.17/67 = 19.7%
• Not enough context or other misuse: 19/67 = 28.4%
• Single element: 7/67 = 10.4%

One suggestion is to make it an index, though a rename will help on top of that; otherwise, the misuse/bad subbullets will crop up again.

1. It Runs on Nonsensoleum: Fighter survives a freefall by using his Knight abilities to block the ground. Fighter's "explanation" is that since he can block all sorts of elemental attacks, it's natural that he'd be able to block Earth.
2. Anime.Samurai Pizza Cats: The Samurai Pizza Cats Rescue Team each represented one of these. Meowzma (Gotton) was earth, General Catton (Rikinoshin) was fire, Bat Cat (Mietoru) was wind, and Spritz T. Cat (Nekkii) was water. Similarly, the three of the four Rude Noise members each represent the elements: Cannonball Battery (Bonkaa) represents fire, Ronnie Geissmuller (Wokkaa) represent water, and Mojo Rojo (Rekkaa) represents wind. The lone exception is Bad Max (Zankaa), who represents the darkness.
3. Characters.A Game Of Chance: The Promethians are an ancient magical race known for attaining absolute mastery over fire and lightning-based magics. Not so normal now, huh?
4. Characters.A Geeks Guide Corporation Of Occult Research And Extermination: Mainly attacks using magic circles that blast opponents with fire, ice, or lightning.
5. Characters.Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night (1/3): Her sub-weapons allow her to use a variety of elemental abilities, such as lightning orbs that cling to the ceiling, and wind funnels that shoot forward and then climb up.

6. Characters.Encantadia: Four-Element Ensemble: The four of them are the keepers of the Gems of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, and have powers related to their respective element.
7. Characters.Fire Emblem Warriors:
   1. Like Robin, Leo is able to use many spells of different elements, be they fire, thunder, wind, light, or darkness.
   2. The tome he carries for this game allows him to use more than one element this time around, Thunder, Fire, Wind, Darkness, and Light, and he can even combine them together to form a giant ball in his Pair Up Special. He still favors Thunder Magic, however.
   3. Linde can use light, wind, ice, lightning, and fire in her attacks.
   4. In her special attacks, where she tends to use more elements than just light, including fire, thunder, and wind.
   5. Like every magic user confirmed to use a tome, Validar has access to any element and spell that he could possibly want.
8. Characters.Hecksing Ulumate Crconikals: It can shoot fire, electricity, poison, and... water. It later adds explosives after merging itself with Alucard's tank.
9. Characters.Maken Ki Protagonists: Kagezuchi (her fire elemental) and Igazuchi (lightning elemental) are the two she most relies on in battle. But, if need be, she can also summon Nozuchi (her earth elemental) who has power over trees, plants, and has the ability to heal her. Himegami is so adept with them that she's rarely ever had to use her Maken.
10. Characters.Okami: Each head has its own element: fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, poison, light, and darkness.
11. Characters.Pokemon The Series Team Rocket Trio: Among the many Pokémon he has owned, his three most common types are Grass, Poison and Psychic.

15. Literature.Iron Widow: The mecha each have specialties based on the five Chinese elements: fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. Wood types are the most conductive of qi and have the highest transformation potential, fire types can channel qi into powerful blasts, etc. Different pilots have different specialties too, with Zetian specializing in metal (control and precision), and Shimin in fire (power and destruction).
16. Literature.Roll Over And Die: Most people in this world are born with an affinity for magic of one of the six elements: water, fire, earth, air, light and darkness. Some people, however, are born with rare affinities that grant them different kinds of magic.
17. Manga.Omamori Himari: Besides Shizuku, there's also Yuuto and Kuesu, and some (though not all) other demon slayer clans have elemental powers as well.

20. Recap.Charmed S 1 E 15 Is There A Woogy In The House: (re: Early-Installment Weirdness) The Nexus is revealed to be equidistant from five elements, but they use the five Taoist elements (water, fire, wood, metal and earth).

3. Characters.Kid Icarus The Forces Of Nature: Rock and melted rock
4. Literature.The Crocodile God: Insistent Terminology: Haik is adamant on this, implied to be because gods are sensitive to what things mean. He notes that while some sources call him "sea-god" and "god of the sea" as if it's the same thing, he insists that there is only one "god of the sea" as the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Pacific Ocean. He emphasizes that he's a "sea-god," which means he's one of many deities with sea-based Elemental Powers.

5. NegimaMagisterNegiMagi.Tropes D To F (re: Dark Is Not Evil): Shadow magic is the manipulation of shadows, no relationship to alignment.

• August Derleth: Another very controversial and contested change Derleth promoted to the Cthulhu Mythos was a system where each of the Elder Gods were attached to a classical element.
• Varian, Harmony, and the Seven Kingdoms - Elements of Nature: The Seven Kingdoms each represent a particular element. So far, the elements for three kingdoms, Bayangor, Koto and Neserdnia are confirmed (Fire, Sky/Air, and Water, respectively).
• Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Odyssey of Dreams - Star Scraper: The fifth Dream Stone is found in Skyline Tower, a miles-tall building with rooms based on the Elements of Nature and believed to be the first structure ever built on Popstar.
• Idiosyncratic Episode Naming/Literature - Anne Cleves' Jimmy Perez novels (the inspiration for Shetland). The first four (the "Four Seasons" series) all have a colour in them (Raven Black, White Nights, Red Bones, Blue Lightning), and apart from the first are all "[colour] [noun]". The next four (the "Four Elements" series) are all "[adjective] [Elements of Nature]" (Dead Water, Thin Air, Cold Earth, Wild Fire). (Blue Lightning could be considered an overlap, depending on what element system you're using.)
• Rihannsu - Memetic Mutation: In-Universe example in The Romulan Way. The main Romulan religion of the series present (a form of animism focused on the Four Elements of Nature, Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, crossed with a karma-like concept) began life as a meme on the Vulcan version of the Internet while the Rihannsu were planning their future society. It reached the point where idioms began to derive from it, such as that a particularly stubborn person "had too much Earth in him", and its origin as a joke was gradually forgotten.
• Everybody Edits - Fire [moderator] ^explanation 2017 followed up with several topics of this variation. The most memetic example was the "Fire NVD" topic, which people followed up with the joke topics Water NVD, Thunder NVD, Rutherfordium NVD, Earth NVD, and Nonelemental NVD.
• Memes/Literature - Star Trek: The Next Generation Relaunch: The Borg. They EAT. FUCKING. PLUTO.:
  • An In-Universe example in The Romulan Way, where the main Romulan religion of the series' present (a form of animism focused on the Four Elements of Nature, mixed with a concept similar to karma) began life as a memetic joke on the Vulcan version of the Internet thousands of years ago while the proto-Romulans were still planning things out. The meme proved so popular that idioms based on it developed among the proto-Romulans, e.g. that a particularly stubborn person "had too much Earth in him", and the fact that it was a joke was gradually forgotten.
• Cellar Darling - Elements of Nature: Well, they do have one song called "Water" and another called "Fire, Wind, and Earth"...
• Music/Mastodon - Elements of Nature: The band's first four albums are meant to correspond with one of them. Remission represents fire; Leviathan (naturally) represents water; Blood Mountain represents earth; Crack the Skye represents aether. Air is the only classical element for which Mastodon has yet to create a corresponding album. The Hunter as a whole was not intended to correspond with an element, but many of the songs represent wood, which is a Chinese classical element; Once More 'Round the Sun does not correspond with the elements theme, as it is said to have a theme of "death".
• Charmed S1E15 Is There A Woogy In The House? - Elements of Nature: Prue and Piper figure out that the Manor is located on a spiritual Nexus by noticing that it is equidistant from five elements: water, fire, wood, metal and earth.

While Leo is the wind, Raph the fire, Donnie the mountain and Mikey the forest, Miwa is told that due to her fears making her too rigid and unyielding, she must learn to be "as fluid and as versatile as the river".
• Guardians of the Galaxy (2015) S 1 E 14 "Don't Stop Believin'" - Elements of Nature: The security traps have glyphes representing Fire, Wind, Earth and Water, and are dealt with by Drax, Gamora, Groot and Rocket respectively.
• Tak and the Guardians of Gross: It was initially supposed to be a direct successor to the first three games, being a much more open-ended 3D platformer, the Big Gs and their respective Juju guardians were going to be more directly based on the classical elements (earth◊, fire◊, air and water◊) instead of gross Bizarro Elements, and Tlaloc was going to make an appearance (at what role is unknown).
• Final Fantasy III - Lost in Translation: Western players are very unlikely to fall for the Red Herring of the Gold Crystal; after all, even though gold is an element, it isn't a classical element. In Japan, however, Gold—or more broadly "Metal"—is one of their classical Elements of Nature, so a player might be excused if they believe one of the elemental crystals was just destroyed. They might also expect there to be a Wood Crystal in the game somewhere.
• This Starry Midnight We Make - Elements of Nature: Fire, wood, earth, metal and water, which are all part of yin and yang.
• Tree of Savior - Elements of Nature: Here, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire. They are explicitly considered "the simplest forms of all things," and under the purview of the Goddesses.

• Webcomic/Xkcd - Parodic Table of the Elements: Noting that periodic tables become outdated as new elements are discovered, Randall brings us one from half an hour after the Big Bang, which features only the four elements that existed at the time.^note  No, not earth, air, fire and water.
• Frozen II - Elements of Nature: The classical elements (earth, fire, water, air) are associated with the Enchanted Forest and have elemental spirits associated with each one.
• Elemental Shapeshifter: An Elemental Shapeshifter is a Shapeshifting character who can turn into one of the Elements of Nature (typically air, earth, water, and fire, though this might vary according to the work).
• A Kind of One: The same can be said of the planet Earth, which just means "dirt" or "the ground", though this hasn't stopped the perception of Orphaned Etymology situations in fantasy works that use the classical Elements of Nature.

Tied to characters using Elemental Powers or abilities

• Boxing Lessons for Superman - Gate: The world beyond the Gate is still working with Elements of Nature, with mages using them in their magical theory. Lelei studies several Earth books on modern Physics and Chemistry, which makes her magic much more potent.
• Shapeshifter Baggage: In Dungeons & Dragons, the various Voluntary Shapeshifting and Forced Transformation spells and abilities ignore conservation of mass, as demonstrated by 125-ton dragons Humanshifting into standard-size humanoids. Some editions explain this as magic drawing energy and material from the elemental Planes to fuel their effects.
• Jade Armor: Starting in late 2022, Jade Armor (L'armure de Jade in France) is a French superhero show made by TeamTO based on Chinese mythology and legends, featuring a young teenage heroine who uses the powers of the elements of nature to save her town of Ban Tang from the villainous Crimson Lord and his armor's Shards from utter chaos.

• Factory Town - Elements of Nature: Magic works with the four basics: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. There's research on the elements, elements become components of items that get crafted, etc.
• Gloomhaven Unlockable Classes, Savaas - All Your Powers Combined: Elementalist manages to juggle four basic Elements of Nature even better than Spellweaver does, with many of his attacks charging or using two or more at once. He is able to wield Light and Dark too, although much less proficiently; there is a lore-based reason for that, listed below.
• Find The Path Ventures, Sakira - Elements of Nature: As a Suli, Sagira has a Jann parent and is powered by all four of the main elemental planes.
• Maple Story Two, Lara - Elements of Nature: She can summon spirits of fire, water, wind, and earth to deal damage.
• Elemental Embodiment: Living incarnations of the elements.
• Elemental Fusion: Ability Mixing the Elements of Nature.
• By the Grace of the Gods - Elements of Nature: Much of the magic of the series is based on the elements, subdivided into various schools. Most people are only able to master one or two schools and even those that can harness all of them are prone to becoming a Master of None.
• I'm In Love With the Villainess - Elements of Nature: The four classical elements (called attributes): Fire, Water, Air, and Earth are a key factor in the story, magic ushering the in-universe game's titular Magic Revolution and the societal upheaval that followed. Most individuals have one or no attribute, the exceedingly rare exceptions labeled dual, tri-, and quad-casters respectively.
• Tabletop Games - Res Arcana: Most Dragons are big, spiked creatures. There is one for each of the four classical Elements of Nature, with only the Fire Dragon actually breathing fire. There's also the Bone Dragon, the Sea Serpent (which counts as a dragon), the Prismatic Dragon (the only dragon who can't attack, instead preferring to deal with essences) and the huge, expensive Ancient Dragon. The Dragons are implied to hoard gold, as the Dragon's Lair is very centred on the gold essence.
• Mind Zero - Elements of Nature: Like many RPGs it sports its own elemental magic:
  • Dishing Out Dirt
  • Playing with Fire
  • Making a Splash
  • Blow You Away

ZCE, still used as a trope in an example list

• Avalon: Web of Magic: Elements of Nature: Become a big deal when hitting Level Two.
