This may have been discussed in a previous article, and I'm sorry if it's redundant (I'm reading backward), but has anyone else noticed that the four natural elements seem to have a "polar opposite" - for lack of a better term - not unlike a compass. You see air or earth mixing with fire or water, but you'll never see a fire-water or earth-air hybrid. This fundamental property of elementals makes sense to me. Has there ever been an example of fire mixing with water, or earth mixing with air?

Dust devils (found in Westfall for example, look like tan air elementals) are an air/earth mix and steam elementals (found in Borean Tundra for example, look like white shades) are water/fire. What's missing is air/fire (smoke?) and water/earth (mud?). I'd say the former could look like a grey fire elemental, and the latter could be a brown water elemental.
