I agree with your theory. After all, there were originally only four elements representing Western Elemental Theories - Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Astral was then created, and then Ice and Mech. Air was changed to Storm, then the Shadow element was applied far later. Soon after this change, the Mech element was conjoined with the Storm element and the Earth element became the Plant element. This history leads up to the current seven elements - Fire, Water, Plant, Ice, Storm, Astral, and Shadow. Since the first five elements are all normal and such, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Astral is neutral to all elements except for the Shadow element, strangely weaker than Astral. It's crazy how Shadow is still overpowered witch a massive, whopping five advantages! Since we know there's only six Wardens, this will remain as six because they were supposedly the original six in the history of the storyline in Prodigy. Shadow was, as we know, the official element of the Order of Influence. All known members appear to have the element attached to them (except for the Old One, I assume lost these powers because he had been defeated and dormant for millenia). They all possess much magic, and it is the antagonist element of all others that had been cultivated within the Academy.
