I know I could always come up with “alchemical symbols” but that’s a cop-out.

Current ideas: Geyser for steam, a cloud for air and “stink lines” of sorts for smoke; a sand dune for sand and…. I have no idea for mud.

Earth, water, and fire are of course easy – Mountain, wave, and flame, respectively.
