   	It implies for me that they're tied to one of the four (or five)   
   elements and their behavior, and any special powers/characteristics they   
   have, will be reflective of the element. But most elementals I don't see   
   as casting spells or as being used in them. SUMMONED by them on   
   occasion, yes.   
      
   	But I still think Shawn's "Fae" is probably your best bet.
