Consider nuclear technology, it can be used to power houses for a cheaper bill, or make a WMD. Or even as simple as a knife which can stab someone to death, or be a tool to cut the best steak you can ever imagine.
So if a Air user created a Tornado in the middle of a city for no reason, he can be considered as a criminal, and law enforcement groups can kill or arrest him. If a Air user can, however create a Tornado to push back a tornado, or maybe destroy a tornado if one can create, one can also destroy right Then he could be given a medal of valor, or better yet, he might even be in a group of people that saves lives.
Kinda like the fire brigade but this time its for Tornados. TLDR : Laws will be the same, just this time it will involve magic. And maybe a special prison per element, the design of these prisons must secure the prisoner while making sure they can't use their powers to escape.
I do know we have a place in Japan that celebrates a masterbating male genetalia because that place had a drought due to a crime involving a virgin being killed in the ocean, a fisherman masterbated and his spem was sent into the water, the virgin was pleased, and ended the drought.
Thus that place has sculptures of males masterbating in front of the sea. TLDR It depends, if a air user saved a town from something using his power, then there might be a festival in honor of the act. If you find this interesting, you should definitely watch Avatar: it really explores the implications of this very well. This is a very hard question to answer for it is creatively open. It all depends on what your end goal is. We can rationalize and explain almost anything given constraints and where you want to end up.
Since history is written by the victors it all depends on which culture is dominant at the end of the turmoil turmoil is caused by the sudden inexplicable introduction of these powers into the world. Was this society bent on purging the world of this demonic infestation. Then people today might still view them as vile and that powers should never be used and if used could cause imprisonment.
Alternatively if the victor is one that embraced these powers given down by [insert god s ] then a religiously ruled future with people with power in charge is what you might get. If two great powers of opposing view points stay in power after the turmoil you might get a perpetual cold war. Because this is so flexible you can rationalize that our current world exists only with few alterations.
Most laws are there because of consequences caused by actions not so much the actions themselves. It is illegal to kill someone either by punching them to hard or by Hadouken. How you kill them only matters to your court case. You can't fly things near an airport Culturally your adding a new "medium" don't know if this is the correct word.
Other parts of your culture would use it as flair pyrotechnics at a concert. Essentially it would not be any different then any other "mediums" hockey, dressage, Formula 1, Painting, architecture If you rework your question with more specifics as to what conditions you want for your story we can help with a more targeted history to help you end there. Between BC and modern times we have enough story telling time to mold your world to what ever your desires are.
The night before they faced the Volturi, Benjamin uses fire to start a bonfire to bond with the Cullens and their allies. In Alice's vision of the battle, Benjamin opens a huge fissure in the ground, sending several enemies and allies falling into the underground lava. Twilight Saga Wiki Explore. Forever Dawn.

Elemental manipulation. Malina Bennet Heroes Reborn has the power to manipulate the elements and even life. Roku Avatar: The Last Airbender displaying his mastery of the four elements. In his Avatar State, Aang Avatar: The Last Airbender uses his complete knowledge of all of the past Avatars before him, giving him total control of the four elements, and thus allowing him the ability to create an elemental field around him. Ultimate Kevin Ben Ultimate Alien can control elementals after he absorbing ultimate aggregor and elemental aliens.
Aggregor Ben Ultimate Alien in his form after absorbing the abilities of the aliens he captured, giving him the power of elemental manipulation. Captain Planet Captain Planet has full control over the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. The Guardians of the Veil W. In Addidtion to her own element after Nerissa W. H' absorbing her former fellow Guardians into her seal, and becomes a Quinto-Guardian gains power over all five elements.
This arrangement created a kind of quantum soup, in which the movement of any given electron is influenced by the charges it feels from other electrons.
There's this sort of generalized response. The odd thing about this collection is that it can have fractional charges. So the nature of that collective state changes. Manipulating quasiparticles could allow for the creation of a special kind of qubit—a topological qubit.
Topology is a field of mathematics that studies properties of an object that do not change even when that object is twisted or deformed. The standard example is a doughnut: if it were perfectly elastic, you could reshape it into a coffee cup without changing anything essential; the doughnut hole would take on a new role as the opening in the cup's handle. To change the doughnut to a pretzel, however, you would have to poke new holes into it, changing its topology.
A topological qubit retains its properties even under changing conditions. But if you make a qubit from two quasiparticles separated by some distance—say at opposite ends of a nanowire—you are essentially splitting an electron. That property makes topological qubits attractive for quantum computers. Because of the ability of a qubit to be in a superposition of many states at once, quantum computers should be able to perform otherwise impossibly calculation-intensive tasks such as modeling the physics of the big bang.
Manfra, in fact, is part of Microsoft's global effort to build quantum computers based on topological qubits. There are other, arguably easier approaches. Google and IBM, for example, are pursuing quantum computers based on wires supercooled to become semiconductors or ionized atoms in a vacuum chamber trapped by lasers.
The problem with those approaches is that they are more sensitive to environmental perturbations than topological qubits, especially as the number of qubits grows. Topological qubits could therefore herald a revolution in our ability to manipulate tiny things. There is, however, one significant problem: they do not yet exist. Researchers are struggling to construct them out of an object called a Majorana particle. Hypothesized by Ettore Majorana in , this particle is its own antiparticle.
An electron and its antiparticle, a positron, have identical properties except for charge, but the charge of the Majorana particle would be zero. Scientists believe that certain configurations of electrons and holes absences of electrons can behave like Majorana particles.
These, in turn, may one day be used as topological qubits. In physicist Leo Kouwenhoven of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and his colleagues measured what seemed to be Majorana particles in a network of superconducting and semiconducting nanowires. Still, argues Sankar Das Sarma of the Condensed Matter Theory Center at the University of Maryland, College Park, the only way to actually prove that these quasiparticles exist would be to build a topological qubit out of them.
Other experts in the field are optimistic, however. Quantum computers—along with high-temperature superconductors and unbreakable quantum encryption—may be years away, or they may never be achieved. But in the meantime, researchers will continue to struggle toward mastery of nature at the smallest scales.
