Water: You get wands. The orb of the wand stores water for easy access when there is none around. You can also use the wand to control long attacks, it helps make the water go where you want it to go.
Earth: You get knuckles, like brass knuckles, and gloves. The knuckles make your hits even stronger and the gloves protect you from getting any serious injuries to your hands, since Earth types seem to pound rocks a lot. The gloves are made from the same material as the trees of the Earth Continent, so are the knuckles.
Fire: You guys gets swords. The swords are made up of a type of metal that won't melt under the heat of your flames so you can direct your fire through the weapon. To match your swords you get daggers.
Air: You guys get staffs. Did you ever see Avatar: The Last Airbender - not the movie? Well, it's kind of like that. The staff helps you to control the air.
There.
