that's a really good idea.

So Fire mage always have to be calm and withdrawn.
Water mages always cold and distant, callous.
Earth mages... flighty? Unable to focus? I dunno about them.
Air mages should be ... stationary? I dunno. Everway assoicates Air with
intelligence, but making Air mages dumb doesn't seem to carry the right
manner.
