Despite how much the subject suggests letting elementals in, this is quite the opposite. I wish not for the Elemental race to flow freely throughout the world. Or, rather, I wish not for Avatar Elementals to run rampid within this world of magic and make-believe. Without my needing of saying much of anything, most, if not all, of you already know some of the reason why the Avatar elementals aren't allowed.
For one, being an elemental already give you grand power beyond belief without having to move into different sects, branches, and stages. If you are very creative, then-without the need of the actual element-you can make electricity with you being a pure water elemental or air elemental. Trust me, if you know some things about science and how things actually are, you can really rule the world.
The Avatar would undoubtedly be too much on any front. If the person isn't well in RPing, then the person can do whatever without another RPers full understanding of what has been done. If the person is great, then it is possible for them to come up with grand feats with multiple elements and completely overwhelm his or her adversary. The last thing we really need is a person who is mega powerful that can bend the fabric of reality.
If we do permit the existence of an Avatar based elemental, then that one being should be locked away within the tales of lore. In other words, he either doesn't exist, or he is in the background and an NPC who may never show. If what is said inside this one paragraph be the case, then I have a somewhat fitting story for the elementals to be put within the stories of lore.
As a side note, there are some confusions between the power of different elements as well as the difference between an ELEMENTAL and an ELEMENTALIST. In my belief, an elemental is a being derived from the elements themselves and live as one with nature's ever surprising world and beauty. Elementalists are mages, monsters, or some odd race that found a way to bend the elements. They use magic that has either been learned or passed down through blood in order to bend elements. If anything, the one reason why an elementalist is an elementalist is either because he learned the skills and powers, or he somehow got a drop of ancient Elemental blood in them.
