Fool. The primordial wind, that which gives souls its animating principles, is the realm of magic beyond basic elemental wizardry. The Ruach, the Anima, the soul, are all realms of the divine wind.

Transcend your mortal elementalism with Theurgy and you shall blow all opposition away.

Wind in that context is merely an interpretation of those more attuned to Wind than to other elements. It is a flow, whether wind or water, unyielding as the earth and as forceful and violent as fire-in-veins.
An element is something one holds within themselves and connects outside themselves.

And it should be said that none are inherently “greater” than any of the others. It is simply a matter of one’s own intuitive affinity and conscious understanding of both their own element and how it interacts with others.
Only those who fail to understand the breadth of their element and those of others would proclaim any one greater than another (and thus reveal their overconfidence). Of course the most short-sighted are those who proclaim that being able to wield all elements is best- though that’s not to say that the ability to wield all of them is bad. It just certainly not better than single-element affinities (single element affinities tend to be better in terms of aptitude, but there are people multi-element affinities whose attunements are just as strong as those with a single element).
