The shifting shapes of clouds in the sky have captivated the imaginations of mortal children for centuries. Pictures-in-clouds represent this pure possibility of air, transforming into anything the Universe imagines them to be. Many elementals that roam the Plane of Air embody the mercurial formlessness and chaos of tumultuous storms. Tempestuous Spirits Air elementals are often flighty contrarians, often more concerned with bringing about change than with the specific changes they enact. Art
