The Four Elements that make up the world—fire, water, wind, and mountains—were adapted from classical alchemical theory with minor modifications.

There are actually five elements in Four Elements, namely the four mentioned above plus Element V and Mana. This evolutionary relationship corresponds to Plato's theory of five elements and the four elements of Western alchemy. Over the course of long transmission, Mana (the ether among the five elements) was forgotten, and nowadays it's commonly believed there are only four elements.

构成世界的四种元素，即火，水，风与群山，经由经典炼金理论稍加改编而来。

四元素实际上有五种，即上述四种与第五元素 魔力 。这种进化关系对应了柏拉图的五元素论与西方炼金术的四大元素，在漫长的传承中，魔力（五元素中的以太）被遗忘了，如今普遍认为元素只有四种。
