Okay. (deep breath)

The extra elements consist of: shadow, light, grass and metal. Shadow and light are the most powerful elements out of all 10, they are polar opposites and are able to counter each other. Either element will win against the other depending on how pure or abundant it is. The following known light/shadow art techniques include:

- Flight

- Levitation

- Teleportation

- Invisibility

- Identity theft

- Size alteration

- Light-bending/shadow-bending (Depending on the element type)

Shadow and light ninjas can defy laws of physics as well, but not to the extreme that is Discord. As for grass and metal, they're just as powerful as the 6 original elements. Grass ninjas are typically very fast but fragile, having access to natural plant-themed abilities and natural toxins. You'll have to ask Redfork about metal ninjas though.

To put it briefly, the history of elemental ninjas begins with Elementia. The original Elementia is a celestial being of immense power, born in the first dimension that contains existence as the goddess of elements who aims to ensure the balance of elements across the multiverse.

Initially, the multiverse was permeated only by energy. Some of this energy congealed into particles, which assembled into light atoms like hydrogen and helium. These atoms clumped first into galaxies, then stars, then planets before it created the first celestial elemental being that is Elementia. Elementia started to forge elements into existence and spread them across the multiverse in the form of natural disasters. As these natural disasters formed in planets, elements were created and so were different forms of life. When the light and shadow elements were finally created, Elementia distributed them across the multiverse which created an unexpected result: war. Henceforth, this started the eternal war between light and darkness which is still ongoing today. Since both light and shadow elements were polar opposites, they fought each other with enough power to create different forms of life, including dinosaurs and man. Not wanting the balance of elements to be disrupted, Elementia tried to reverse the distribution but was too late. However, seeing that the light and shadow war has made more creations as its byproducts, Elementia decides to send out a few physical creations of hers, such as artifacts, scrolls and swords, in hopes to make indirect contact with the physical worlds in the multiverse and that there will be warriors within those worlds who will rise up to help her restore balance of elements to the multiverse again. Having her creations found within the physical worlds, many beings used them to learn the different elements and become elemental ninjas, starting a chain of generations of elemental ninjas to come.

There isn't much extra info regarding the elemental ninjas, but I've got something. It is also possible for a ninja to learn more than one type of element. Two-element or higher ninjas are versatile due to their wide variety of abilities at their disposal, but at the cost of having those abilities at a weaker level. Take Akasha for example, she is both a fire and a shadow ninja and yet she still struggles against other ninjas like Kyoji and Ace. This is because the purer an element, the more powerful it is. Since Akasha harnesses two elements, their respective strengths are reduced so Akasha cannot use the shadow arts as well as Ace does, nor can she cast flame attacks as well as Dark Jaiden does.
