There's also amdapor who were pretty neat but mostly touched on in the scholar quests. So to be cool the white mage can stick elementals in corporeal form for a bit, kind of like necromancy but sparkly. I dunno, maybe white mage just leans too heavily on external information to have a real identity within this game.
    With the whole Raid Series exploring the 12, the Elementals themselves feel out of place now. Before you could argue that the 12 were just faceless Gods, just like Primals and that the Elementals were a seperate religious faction but now that we've met the 12 (at least most of them anyways), it begs the question, what exactly are the Elementals and what is their connection to CNJ/WHM? Mhach was big on Voidsent and summoning them to serve as reservoirs to power their society and the like but what of Amdaphor? We know they had Constructs but how they came to be is sort of a mystery. It would make logical sense that the constructs are powered by the Elementals but what are they exactly? Given that the Ascians were involved in the Calamity, is it possible that the Elementals are similar to Sineaters that the Ascians gave to Amdaphor and just sort of became known as the Elementals after years passed and the knowledge was lost to time but Golems seem like a possible inclusion in WHM's toolkit, given the implications of Amdaphor.
