Elemental spirits (Seiken Densetsu)The Elemental Spirits are a group of eight spirit-creatures, each of which embodies a different magical element in most of the video games in the Seiken Densetsu (聖剣伝説) series, produced by Square Enix (formerly Squaresoft). The Elementals (also known as "Mana Spirits") are considered to be one of the main links between the different games of the series, and thus one of the main distinctions between the series and other Square Enix franchises. This separation is helped by their premiere in Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2/聖剣伝説2) rather than the "side-quest" Final Fantasy Adventure/Mystic Quest (Seiken Densetsu/聖剣伝説). Even though in subsequent games the Elementals have had their names, powers, and elements changed, and have been made to appear distant and hard-to-approach, their embodiment of familiar elemental systems in both Western and Eastern mythologies and the interactions in Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 (聖剣伝説3) between them and the main characters have helped to make them endearing to many fans of the series.
