That does raise the question on what differentiates the sentient elements from the "normal" elements around them. Like, yeah, Wade can become one with a body of water or Ember can jump into a braizer to make the flames bigger, but where is the line drawn? What makes Ember alive but a simple match flame not? Why are the cloud element folks different from the regular atmosphere that's literally everywhere? What's the difference between an earth elemental and just regular dirt?
See what happens when you take this shit at face value, OP?
