Manipulating elements often times mean life or death. Most games in the series have eight; which are usually Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Water, Holy, and Dark. Many of these elements have a recurring summon based around them."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Elements play an important role during battle.

Most games feature Fire, Ice, and Lightning being in a trinity of sorts, as there are three or four levels of magic usually associated with them, although some games may have three or four levels of magic of another element. Some games, notably Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy X, have fewer than eight elements. Final Fantasy IV does not feature a Water element, although several spells, such as Flood and Tsunami, have water-based graphics, these spells are Ice-elemental or non-elemental. Final Fantasy X does not feature Earth or Wind."@en . . . . . . . . . .
