My THM is only up to 31 so far yet from what I had seen nothing ever mentioned the elementals in their studies. Thaumaturgy dealt with life, death, and controlling the aspects of these two. They heavily believed in religion (Nald and Thal, it being that when you died, you went on to rest in Thal's realm.) and had the potential to manipulate life. In fact they had means of resurrecting the dead through forbidden arts. Basically, a Thaumaturge would fit the roles of a Dark Knight (Like a THM/GLA combo.) or even a Necromancer. Acts of using conjury (IE elemental spells) weren't ever in their storyline.
