There are eight Elements: Sun, Moon, Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Plant, and Animal.

Elements are required to use your Spirits' Innate Power, which is an additional free action.

You gain Elements from playing Power cards as well as from your Spirit's Progression tracks. While a Power Card is in Play, you have the Elements shown. Some Powers have extra effects if you have gained specific Elements. Elements do not carry over from turn to turn.

You have Elements from the moment you pay for a Power Card, regardless of whether the Power is Fast or Slow, and they go away as soon as it leaves play (usually during Time Passes).

Powers that have Elemental thresholds do not spend or use up Elements that you have. If you have the Elements in Play, you meet the thresholds.
