A trick those with Elemental Powers can do is absorbing their own element(s). For example, one may think someone with fire powers wouldn't be helpful in stopping a forest fire, but that person could simply absorb the flames and either store it or release it in a safer way. Or someone with wind powers can suck the air out of an area. And so on. See also Feed It with Fire (when this is done to restore health) and Energy Absorption. |

Conduits in inFAMOUS recharge their powers and heal themselves by absorbing their element. If they absorb enough energy in one go (or Ray energy), they can unlock more powers or augment their current ones. As stated in the main page, Delsin Rowe from Second Son may be considered a Conduit whose element is Conduits. | |

In Kamen Rider Fourze, the heroes learn that Fourze's Fire States can absorb nearby fires in order to power up its flamethrower weapon; conveniently, the Monster of the Week likes to burn things. This may have been inspired by a scene in Kamen Rider: The Next in which V3 sucks the flames from a burning building into his Double Typhoon belt and uses the energy to kick villain butt. | |

The Organization XIII members seem to absorb their own elements as well. Of course, since the Kingdom Hearts games only have a very short list of elements you can actually use (even more so after they removed Gravity, Stop, and Aero for II), the only ones who might ever actually get hit by an attack of their own element are Axel, Vexen, and Larxene in Chain of Memories. | |

This is a constant concern in the Shin Megami Tensei series, especially more recent entries, where demons can resist, repel or even drain attacks of certain elements — including physical attacks in some cases.

Champions of Far'aus: Monstrovs have two sets of Elemental Powers out of a list of tennote with the exception of subtypes being exclusive with what they are subtypes of, such as ice and water and can absorb/get energy and/or mana from things that correspond to said power sets, and can be a pain to fight if, for example, fire magic is used on one with a fire power set, all it will do is give the monstrov a boost. | |

Harry Dresden of The Dresden Files does this on occasion. How do you escape a boat? Freeze part of a lake. How do you do that? Absorb the heat and release it as a fireball. In Changes he becomes the Winter Knight, doing this to Chain Lightning dozens of mooks. Even Lea is impressed. | |

In 358/2 Days, all thirteen elements are present as attacks in some way shape or form, and each member has a natural resistance to their element ("Nil" for Xemnas, Moon for Saix, Light for Roxas, etc.) that starts at 10% at level 1 and rises another 10% every ten levels. Mickey, Sora, Donald and Goofy also have a natural resistance to Light. The only character who doesn't have a natural resistance to an element is Riku, perhaps because Darkness isn't present as an element in the game. | |

In Digimon Adventure, WarGreymon's Signature Move is Terra Force (Gaia Force in Japanese), which gathers energy from the atmosphere and hurls it as a giant fireball. He retains this ability in the 2020 reboot, with the added property of being able to absorb the Digital World's light and become even bigger, able to one-shot ZeedMillenniummon. Digimon X-Evolution's WarGreymon X has a similar attack called Poseidon Force, which instead gathers water into a hyper-pressurised sphere to the same effect. | |

Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories: Ordinarily, the Dragon, Warslug, Mystic Beast and Holy Dragon's passive abilities allow them to No-Sell any special skills that are respectively Fire, Ice, Wind and Non-Elemental-typed. Their respective Lover specialist (which only spawns on any Rank 5 or higher item they've worn for ~35 consecutive battles) upgrades their passives to this.

Marvel Universe: Carol Danvers from Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) and Ms. Marvel can absorb a number of forms of energy, at one point using electricity as a pick-me-up. Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four can do this, although if it's heat (rather than fire), it's a strain, and dumping the energy absorbed is a problem. In such cases, he usually has to gain high altitude and then release the energy in a serious flare, after which he is usually only semi-conscious and needs someone to catch him. The Mighty Thor can absorb electricity. |

Many elemental creatures in Dungeons & Dragons tend to do this. In 3 ed. even a PC race, genasi can learn to heal from one's element. The Totemist class can invoke this using a soulmeld. The Absorb Elements spell allows the user to absorb some incoming elemental damage, gaining resistance to that type of damage until their next turn. They can then use the absorbed energy to empower their next melee attack. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, this is a power of Atronachs, a type of unaligned lesser Daedra which are essentially the Elemental Embodiments of the elements they represent. The most common are the Flame (also known as "Fire"), Frost, and Storm varieties. Others include Air, Flesh, Iron, and Stone. In addition, they are immune to magic of their respective associated element and, in some cases, can even absorb it to increase their health/power. | |

The DCU: Killer Frost from Firestorm (DC Comics) absorbs heat in order to power her ice powers. Since you'd expect An Ice Person to be weak against fire, this tends to be a dangerous surprise for heroes facing her. Scorch does it to prevent the Martian Manhunter from spawning (It Makes Sense in Context), but can only hold it for a few minutes — long enough for the Justice League of America to defeat him, though. |

In the Sword of Truth, this is actually impossible without Subtractive Magic, and there's only one person Richard, naturally who has been born with this power in three thousand years. It was the Temple of the Winds leveling the playing field, because Jagang wasn't supposed to exist, either. There are a few people who managed to pick up Subtractive Magic, and thus this ability, by studying. There are also noted Banelings, including Darken Rahl and the Sisters of the Dark. | |

In Final Fantasy games, monsters affiliated with an element are either immune to it or are healed by attacks of that element (be they spells or attacks with an elemental weapon). Some bosses can even change their elemental type during the fight, so you must figure out which one it is before attacking again. Fortunately, the player characters get access to the ability to absorb specific elements themselves in many games, whether by using high-level Elemental Materia, junctioning enough elemental spells to your Elem-Def stat, or (in most cases) by merely donning equipment that comes with such an effect. | |

Dragons in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid can regain mana by absorbing their respective elements. This can lead to cute moments like Kanna having her own personal outlet so she can plug in her tail or Ilulu carrying around a lighter for snacks while at work. They can also use the ambient mana that Tohru produces, but Ilulu claims that it tastes awful. | |

Users can produce, manipulate, and are immune to one element (Natsu is fire, Gajeel is iron, Wendy is air, Laxus is lightning, Cobra is poison, and so on) which they can also eat to heal and power themselves up. Acnologia answers the obvious question of what happens when applied to a Non-Elemental (and not even a more "fantastical" element like "Ghost" or "Blade"), which translates to a full-blown Magic Eater and Anti-Magic. | |

In The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, an arson-obsessed villain/hero with a crush on a fiery superheroine makes a Deal with the Devil to absorb heat. Unfortunately, it creates cold, absorbing even her powers, and she flat-out rejects him. | |

Killer Frost from Firestorm (DC Comics) absorbs heat in order to power her ice powers. Since you'd expect An Ice Person to be weak against fire, this tends to be a dangerous surprise for heroes facing her. | |

In the Wild Cards novels starting from Inside Straight, the Amazing Bubbles has the power to absorb kinetic energy and store it as body mass to be released later as telekinesis. In Busted Flush, this ability allows her to survive giving an Action Bomb a Cool-Down Hug. | |

In MARDEK, if a character's elemental resistances exceed 100%, incoming attacks with that element will heal them. This means that if they have 100%+ resistance to all 8, they'll be pretty much invincible.note Not only that, if any teammates have attacks in that element, they can direct them at the resistance guy to heal him. This is why characters never have Thauma resistance of any sort, and bosses get the Inversion: X attack which hits you with Thauma proportional to your resistance to X. | |

In Pokémon: The Series, most of the abilities that do this from the games such as Water Absorb and Sap Sipper appear with their effects from the games. Blows up in Malva's face in Mega Evolution IV when she Mega Evolves her Houndoom which replaces its Flash Fire ability and allows Alain's Mega Charizard X to beat Houndoom via Blast Burn. | |

BoBoiBoy Movie 2: All Retak'ka is left with after escaping his Crystal Prison is remnants of his Gamma power. When BoBoiBoy Solar shoots a solar eclipse blast at him, it grants him back some of his old power before he absorbs it completely from the elemental himself. He shoots a gamma blast at BoBoiBoy's other elementals and absorbs Thunderstorm, Cyclone and Thorn to use their powers at the 3rd tier (Voltra, Tempest, and Darkwood). His goal for the rest of the movie is to steal the elements of other planets to enhance his own powers, which leaves them barren in the process. His final destination is one that has all of the elements, Planet Earth. Ochobot was used to absorb the Elemental Powers from Retak'ka prior to his imprisonment, and he is the key to absorbing the elements back. Hang Kasa seemingly betrays BoBoiBoy by using Ochobot to take his Quake power, which Kasa uses as its 3rd-tier Crystal to fight Retak'ka. When that goes south, the main heroes use Ochobot's "Elemental Drain" to take the powers back from Retak'ka. |

Simon from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues has the ability to control plasma, which also allows him to absorb it and its sub-properties fire and lightning. This is taken to its extreme when Luna, who can turn herself into lightning, is temporarily absorbed into his body. | |

Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four can do this, although if it's heat (rather than fire), it's a strain, and dumping the energy absorbed is a problem. In such cases, he usually has to gain high altitude and then release the energy in a serious flare, after which he is usually only semi-conscious and needs someone to catch him. | |

Dragons in The Last Dragon Chronicles can swallow a flame, putting it out. This goes for candles, fireplaces, and forest fires (if the dragon is big enough). Most of the dragons in the series, however, are only big enough to swallow candle flames. | |

Certain Heartless from Kingdom Hearts (mainly the ones that look like flying lanterns) can do this. Physical attacks and forms of magic other than the one they use and especially one that's opposite their own (i.e., blizzard->fire or fire->blizzard, etc.) will cause it damage. Getting hit by a magic attack that's of the same element as their own restores energy. Blue Rhapsody uses and absorbs Blizzard attacks. Red Nocturne uses and absorbs Fire attacks. Yellow Opera uses and absorbs Thunder attacks. Green Requiem absorbs all magic attacks and heals itself and other Heartless. Aquatank, a fish-like Heartless who uses thunder magic in Atlantica will regain health if hit by thunder magic (Re: Chain of Memories). The Organization XIII members seem to absorb their own elements as well. Of course, since the Kingdom Hearts games only have a very short list of elements you can actually use (even more so after they removed Gravity, Stop, and Aero for II), the only ones who might ever actually get hit by an attack of their own element are Axel, Vexen, and Larxene in Chain of Memories. In 358/2 Days, all thirteen elements are present as attacks in some way shape or form, and each member has a natural resistance to their element ("Nil" for Xemnas, Moon for Saix, Light for Roxas, etc.) that starts at 10% at level 1 and rises another 10% every ten levels. Mickey, Sora, Donald and Goofy also have a natural resistance to Light. The only character who doesn't have a natural resistance to an element is Riku, perhaps because Darkness isn't present as an element in the game. |
