“Void” sometimes comes up as an ‘element-between-the-elements’. This can be emptiness and/or “that which separates”. It exists and does not exist at the same time. That could fill the role of a purely “mystical” or “other” element.

Wind/Air comes up in the Western four, not the Chinese five.

“The Chinese think Earth is associated with the qualities of patience, thoughtfulness, practicality, hard work and stability. The earth element is also nurturing and seeks to draw all things together with itself, in order to bring harmony, rootedness and stability. Other attributes of the earth element include ambition, stubbornness, responsibility and long-term planning. In pathology, the earth can represent selfishness and self-centeredness.”
“In Chinese Taoist thought, Metal attributes are considered to be firmness, rigidity, persistence, strength and determination. The metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful and set in their ways as metal is very strong; and they are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The metal person is also materialistic, business oriented and good at organization and stability. However the metal person can also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life. Just as metal can conduct electricity, the Metal person has strong impulses and generative powers and can bring about changes and transformations for those who come into contact with them. The negative emotion associated with metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage.”
Ice and Lightning are not proper elements. And it would be Air, rather than Wind (unless you’re talking about Jap philosophy, but this is Chinese).
I am the wrong person to ask that. Can’t remember enough about the five phases to know if that makes sense. I do remember that there are a bunch of different kinds of chi, so I don’t think it works like that.
So would Twilight Sparkle be air?
Hence why there is no “air day” in the Eastern Asian calendars.

The Devil Children SMT games uses this as elements, instead of the more typical things you see in that series,
Air is chi. It’s a bit more complicated than just wind. As I understand it, it’s part of all of the elements, or something.
Been a while since I looked it up.
Wu Xing, or “Five Phases” is a Chinese philosophy using elements to explain various phenomenons in life.
wierd, they have wood, metal and earth but no air…
Since “theory”.
