As for what that would entail for the other elements, well...we do know of a few, like the Umbral Winds and Umbral Static weathers for instance.

- Water/Ice/Earth being Umbral/Passive
But generally speaking, their main difference is whether they're in an active/passive state (like say, Earth triggering earthquakes if it was active, while being inert if it was passive).
