Alternate name: Prime elements

Greek/Hindu:
* Earth
* Fire
* Air
* Water
* Aether

Chinese:
* Wood
* Fire
* Earth
* Metal
* Water

There are others beside these, but most share the four base elements in the Greek list, often forgoing the fifth element of Aether or replacing it with something similar touching some celestial concept.

In fiction, shadow, light, electricity/lightning, etc. can also appear as prime elements within their mythos.
