[@Genkai] I've got a couple rough ideas:  Elf Tempest Rogue - Water; Dwarf Champion Fighter - Earth; Dwarf Artificer Rogue - Air.

I see the elf character as a fun Jackie Chan/Scanlan the Gnomish Bard type, wielding beer as both balm and bane.

On the more serious side of things, I'm really interested in the ramifications of an exiled Dwarf having some of this elemental power and what it might mean for the world.  Are the rifts to the Fade allowing races previously unable to wield magic a connection to this mysterious realm?  Is he/she just a fluke, an aberration or are they the first of a new generation?  Will they be sought out as mentors or hunted as abominations?
