Well, one that I’m writing is a painting magic. My MC uses it.

I like shadow/dark a lot, too. There are many fun elements to be honest. Light is least favorite for obvious reasons

Water, Ice, and Steam are the same thing.
But if you had to pick one, Ice, because you could make Ice-7, the ice that forms at room temperature...
And 32,000 atmospheres.
Shoot someone with a shard of that, and your problems go away. Well...
You will have to mop.

I personally went with the classic 4 + light. Why not darkness? Heh. Spoilers. Note this is dependent on the type of world and Monad knot complexity.

Water could then be expanded into Ice then steam
Fire into lightning then Plasma.
Air into speed then telekinesis.
Earth into Crystal/metal then living Plant control
Light into healing then Living animal control

Theoretically...
Darkness goes to straight up life drain, then finally undead.

I prefer to have my elements on a spectrum, so the more competent, the more you can control, although it takes more mana and skill the more you deviate from baseline.

By that logic, hydrogen would be the best elemental magic.

Well DUH. But that's what water is, ya know? So, you can break it down into hydrogen and oxygen. Of course you need a source of ignition after that point, but carry around a lighter and yer good.

And, of course, there are the different isotopes involved. You can still add another 3 neutrons to the hydrogen, and +2 to the oxygen to increase the over all atomic weight from 18 to 26, a 45% increase in the over all density of the water molicule, giving it that extra PUNCH.

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

Oxygen 14 can decay into Nitrogen and EMITS A POSITRON. That's right! Water Elementalsts can create ANTIMATTER!!
Or you go the other route and make Oxygen-23 and in milliseconds, it will decay into fluorine, which will combine with the rest of the water to form Hydrogen Fluoride, a BONE SEEKING ACID! Get splashed with that shit, not only will it eat your FLESH, but within hours, assuming you survive, it'll KILL ALL YOUR BONE MARROW.
