In my game I want mages to be able to use spells from Arcane Fire Ice Earth Air Lightning however I also feel like I could split up the class into six Wizard/Sorceror Pyromancer Hydromancer Geomancer Aeromancer and what? like the others what could I use for lightning? I checked latin and greek words for lightning, that got me nowhere.

It sounds sorta lame, but electromancer? 'Cause serious, electricus and electrum are what it comes from, and apparently electrum means amber or something. Ambermancer? I dunno, not very self-descriptive.

Cool root names. id go with electromancer for the electric. Its not like a name has to be totally real, because elementalist is no in the dictionary either.
