Sorry I have re read your post. AndI think it is aterribly arrogant attitude to take to think anyone can "control" the elementals. I have tried. I had storm magic. I have thinned out soupy green clouds so a tornado wouldn'e rip up my home and send it over the rainbow and yet not wishing to dflect it onto some other poor soul I tried to lessen it's anger. One nasty wet summer my garden was being choked by weeds. I was sick of the rain coming in and pouring out after a mere half hour of sunshine where I was trying to get caught up on my garden and other yard work. I pushed away the clouds for a good hour and a half two hours until I had my garden done. Then I relaxed my will and said thank you go a head with your rain. It hailed. I had three inches of marble sized hail all over my yard. The neighbors didn't get any.Nobody got any hail except my yard. I got my hands royally slapped for that.
The moral of this story is respect. I f you respect the power it will respect you. You may not always get what you want but if you piss off the elements you may get a lot worse than not having things YOUR way.
Be careful be wise, be respectful. Yours is not the only power, nor the greatest one, especially when compared to the elementals. There is a reason the Chineese look at them as dragons. Don't get eaten.
