Element No. 5	comment	The four classical Elemental Powers of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air/Wind usually appear simultaneously inside the same setting. It is tacitly acknowledged these are the four forces of nature, and so naturally, there is some form of magical ability associated with each of them. Sometimes mages are restricted to only one school. But wait - what's all this talk about a mysterious fifth element? That's right, boys and girls, turns out there's actually another element on top of these that is so incredibly badass, it defies the normal classification system. Magic of this element is about as strong as the other four put together. Where a wind mage has control of, in general, wind, this element controls pretty much everything. It will have very few restrictions, but it will also be quite difficult to use. If the normal magic system is defined in term of Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, Element Number Five will usually exist outside of it. Sometimes it will actually be the source of all the other elements in the first place, making it more of a Zero-th element or if you prefer, the element of the elements. Another common variation is for this to be some kind of mental, spiritual, or energy-related foil to the physical elements; The Power of Love, Mind Control, Light 'em Up, and Casting a Shadow are all common choices. The above rules may still apply (especially if the hero or the villain are the ones using it), but non-omniscient powers are equally likely to be balanced as not. The Inverse Law of Complexity to Power often favors Element Number Five since it doesn't always fit the same system as the rest. This idea is most commonly used as a distinguishing feature from fantasy work to fantasy work. In order to combat the relative commonality of this fifth element its nature will often vary, to the point that this trope can often turn into Our Fifth Element Is Different. Some non-European traditions have five elements, either integral to the system or added to the "classical" four in an Older Than Print instance of this trope. For example, Chinese systems normally define five elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Wood). (So works based on that mythology sometimes introduce a version of this trope in the form of an Element Number Six.) In Greek, Tibetan, Indian, Babylonian and Japanese elemental systems, Aether, Space, Sky, Void, or Sound may fill the narrative role of this trope, or just be treated as a "standard" fifth element (again allowing for the possibility of a plot-significant, secret Number Six). Not to be confused with Boron, the fifth element in the Real Life periodic table; The Fifth Element, which uses this trope as its eponymous Plot Device; or The Fifth Elephant, which has nothing to do with any of this but is rather a cheap pun. See Infinity +1 Element for the gameplay ramifications of this trope occurring in Video Games. Compare Bizarro Elements.

There's also "Almighty", the ultimate element. Nothing is weak to it, but usually nothing resists or nullifies Almighty either.

Element No. 5 / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files is an interesting example - magic flows from the mind, so no single elemental system totally encapsulates it. We've seen wizards use fire, water, ice, electricity, wind, earth, and even particle beams, but none of these are more mystical than the others, and every mage uses his or her own different system. However, Angels and Fallen Angels possess Soulfire and Hellfire respectively (and can grant it to others), which are shown to be solidly this trope, even when actual numbering is impossible. Harry himself claims his pentacle amulet represents fire, air, earth, water, and spirit, all bound and controlled by will. However, he calls these the five forces of magic, not the five elements.

Originally there were more than four, but with each expansion the extra elements have been phased out; as of Cataclysm, there are five such elementals called Volatiles: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Life. In the lore, there are six main elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Spirit, and Decay. Spirit, also known as also called the Spirit of Life or Spirit of the Wilds, is a mysterious universal force. Decay by its nature cannot manifest (except as reagents for crafting recipes), because it represents entropy into nothingness and so far can only corrupt other things.

Element No. 5 / int_7288f27	comment	Cultist Simulator has eight Bizarro Elements called "principles." Then there's Secret Histories. Despite having lore (and Tomes of Eldritch Lore) of its own, it doesn't work like any of the other principles. Its lore can only be combined with itself rather than being used to subvert other lores, there are no cultists aligned with it, no ascension path, no tools, no use in rituals, there aren't even any Hours associated with it, barring perhaps the Vagabond. Its only use is to found the Society of Saint Hydra and to locate hidden places where you can send your underlings to retrieve loot. The sequel, Book of Hours, replaces it with a Suspiciously Similar Substitute called "Rose" which has the same color and thematic associations as Secret Histories but works just like any other principle.

They are also effective against all colors through spells like All is Dust or Emrakul's protection from colored spells, showing that they defy the usual Rock Paper Scissors system. During development of the Planar Chaos set, there was almost an actual sixth color of magic: purple. The element would represent cities and urbanization, and would be situated between blue and black, opposite of green. Its mechanics would have included counterspells which only delay rather than cancel, among other things.

First you have to come up with a fifth "normal" element to round out the Five-Man Band, then you have to have one that's genuinely outside the system for the Sixth Ranger. Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger/Power Rangers Samurai get us to five by adding wood to the usual set of fire, water, earth, and air. Kakuranger didn't have a Sixth Ranger, but in Shinkenger/Samurai the Sixth's element is light. Seijuu Sentai Gingaman and Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Power Rangers Mystic Force use wood in place of earth, and add lightning as the fifth Ranger's power. Gingaman's Sixth Ranger lacked an elemental theme, but the one in Magiranger/Mystic Force has the Power of the Sun. The latter also has other elements used by side characters such as Moon and Snow. (These aspects were downplayed in Gingaman's adaptation Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.) Rescue Sentai GoGoFive/Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue plays with this theme by having mecha based on a fire engine (fire), a tanker truck (water), a jet (air), a hazardous rescue vehicle (earth), and an ambulance (life?). GoGoFive lacked a Sixth Ranger but Lightspeed Rescue had one who personally had a metal theme and whose mecha/zord had the sun element as a solar-powered spacecraft. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger/Power Rangers Ninja Storm starts with three: Land, Sea, Sky. Of the season's multiple Sixth Rangers, the first duo has thunder and the third gets his powers from a different source and isn't bound to any of the elements, though there is fire reflected in his helmet during his Super Mode Transformation Sequence. Tensou Sentai Goseiger/Power Rangers Megaforce averts this, sticking to Land, Sea, Sky for the main team and the Sixth Ranger gets All Your Powers Combined instead of a different element. In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger/Power Rangers Ninja Steel, the core team can all use the Chinese set of elements (fire, water, earth, wood, and metal); the Sixth Ranger goes outside the system and uses wind and lightning. Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger drops air and instead uses a set of fire, water, earth, lightning, and snow; the Sixth Ranger has shadow, because his powerset was made by the villains.

Element No. 5 / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun: One of the more interesting ideas of this was featured in a novel, where an Indian magical theorist worked out a different Element Number Five than the usual Chinese translation. Specifically, he found that while Fire, Earth, and Water matched up to their standard concepts, the literal translations for Wood and Metal were "Wood that burns" and "Metal that gleams" respectively. "Wood that burns" would be perhaps one of the only ways to visualize Air (as smoke), so perhaps it also wasn't the Metal ancient Chinese mages were referring to... but the gleam. Then he summons a Light elemental which he designates as a "Farohad," it incinerates him, and escapes, then begins making hit-and-run attacks on the Matrix (the futuristic, VR-based internet) to destroy all traces of itself. Unfortunately, since the scientist's project was called "The Lucifer Project," this ends up creating lots of collateral damage to places like churches, seminaries, and an unfortunate woman named Lucille Ferraro. With the advent of the fourth edition, the game has a definitive fifth element. When conjuring, magicians can summon up spirits of Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and/or Man.

Element No. 5 / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer's magic system is based on the eight "Winds of Magic" - each wind being an elemental force in its own right. The eight winds are the lores of Light, Metal, Life, Heavens, Shadow, Death, Fire and Beasts, and human wizards can learn to manipulate only one of these elements due to their limited magical capacities. High Elf wizards, on the other hand (and the ancient Slann) can manipulate all eight winds at once, leading to "High Magic" - somewhat analogous to a fifth element, though really just the perfected ordering of all the rest together. Dark Elves and some Chaos Sorcerers use "Dark Magic", a disorganised, roiling, chaotic mixture of the eight winds, which is likewise more powerful than the individual elemental winds, but far riskier and less controlled than High Magic. The setting also has Rune magic, Waaagh! magic, and Gut magic (which don't seem to work off the winds at all) and several flavors of Necromancy (uses Dark Magic as a power source but operates on it's own rules) as more traditional "fifth" elements.

Adding to the theme of void as the fourth element is Brewmaster. Normally, his ultimate splits him into Earth, Storm, and Fire brewlings and has a Stance System based on the three elements, but with Aghanim's Scepter or Shard he gains a Void brewling or a void stance.

Very rare characters will have either "Light" or "Darkness" as their element, which doesn't fit into the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors set up of the rest.

GURPS Thaumatology, which attempts to make the game's treatment of magic more generic and flexible, notes that some traditions are different, and therefore offers ways to fit the likes of Metal, Wood, or Void as elements within a version of the game's standard magic system. Thaumatology - Chinese Elemental Powers, in particular, focuses on the chinese elements of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood.

Then an update introduced Photon and Graviton elements, which work as stronger Lightning and Darkness (Photon is strong against Darkness and Graviton strong against Lightning, but not the other way around). A later update then introduced Solar and Lunar, which similarly work as stronger Fire and Ice. Naturally, the four "super" elements are much rarer, available only on high-ranking characters.

Element No. 5 / int_f10619d8	comment	Tales of the Abyss is an unusual example. Elements are called fonons, and there are the four classic elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, as well as two more, Dark and Light, both of which also cover two of the classic elements and thus could be considered more powerful (or at least more useful) and so fit this trope. However there's an even greater one introduced very early in the game, the Seventh Fonon. It's considered the most powerful and most dangerous element in the game, and only people born with the ability to control it can do so, and even then, they aren't able to do it themselves (until the point the game takes place). The reason why it's so powerful? The Seventh Fonon's element is Sound, which is what all other Fonons are made of (fonons are just vibrations of particles, which is exactly what sound is) and are what allow matter to be distinguished, making anyone who can control The Seventh Fonon a borderline reality warper. Its power is purely in terms of plot, however, as it never pops up in gameplay (a few special attacks notwithstanding, that are considered non-elemental anyway, plus being a requirement for using healing spells) unless you count it as being an In-Universe justification for Save Points.

Element No. 5 / int_f120845f	comment	Kingdom of Loathing has five elements to begin with (similar to the Chinese element system, which uses earth, water, metal, wood, and fire), but adds a sixth element, cute, in an arc that blatantly parodies The Fifth Element. There's only one item that provides Cute Resistance, though, and there's no way to dish out or receive Cute Damage. For reference, the five elements are Hot, Cold, Spooky, Stench, and Sleaze. There's also slime, shadow, and bad spelling, but those only show up in the Slime Tube, the Naughty Sorceress's Tower and the Orc Chasm, respectively. You can't equip items that are resistant to these elements (except Slime, but this is generally not beneficial), nor can you wield them yourself. These don't really count as elements because their weaknesses are usually specific items. Slime deals a status effect which can be removed with a chamoix, shadow is vulnerable to healing items and bad spelling is vulnerable to dictionaries.

Legend has it there's one more spirit. However, the fifth spirit is not an element, but a bridge between the magical and the mundane.
