The world of Skylands is built up off eight elements: Magic, Earth, Water, Fire, Tech, Undead, Life and Air. Each Skylander is associated with one of these elements and it affects what they can do in the game. There are currently eight elements that are known in Skylands, but there is a possibility of more that lie undiscovered. In the console game, Skylanders can open gates of their element and gain extra power in areas of their element. In Arena Matches, some Skylanders get extra damage against certain elements. In Skylanders: Trap Team, two new elements were introduced: Light and Dark.
