Well, since we're voting. I vote for Stone/Cloud/Energy/Poison/Void with the Physical/Mental distinction.

The distinction should usually be found in which attribute it targets, although I can certainly see 'poison in food' as an attack against perception.

I disagree. The element of an attack should not be based apon the attribute it targets, but should instead be based apon the flavour of the archetype that is based apon.

ex: The necromancer's attacks are STR based, and target STR, WIS and/or CON. They are usually composed of Stone or Poison. Necromancers with a high DEX may have access to Cloud abilities, particularly making us of the ones associated with the messengers.
