I _like_ it!

And yes, I understand about the elemental essences, but I was specifically wondering about elemental demons.

I suppose there's not much difference (or any) between a demonic entity that is naturally from hell (where the three world model breaks  down) or one that has been demonised into an essence.

What about chaotic entities. I suspect there are chaotic demons with elemental powers as well, but are those more rare than the more natural essences, spirits and daemons?

I have no idea if the chaos entity should be more or less powerful in general. Pretty powerful and hard to control I would suspect, given how hated and feared chaos is.
