Elemental Wisps
Earth, fire, air, water ... are not the main 4 elements of Realm-R. No, the 4 elements are addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. But it doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?
Not elements, but operations, you say? Well I say they are both. And as Realm-R is defined in math, operations can be elements and operations all the same...
Subtraction - the blue wisps (tall and thin, super long arms)
Division - the purple wisps (short with super long arms)
Multiplication - the red wisps (if not for their long legs, they would also be short and pudgy)
They are kept alive as people do maths, and they keep the world (Realm-R) alive.
Realm-R is made up of 6 Keystones denoting 6 mathematical umbrella topics (Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Probability) and the basic operations (the elemental wisps) are a part of all 6. Every location and creature in Realm-R is aligned to an umbrella maths topic.
Bonus quests for subtraction and division elemental wisps: As the elemental wisps help people get rid of things they don't need (e.g. negative world views, too many odd socks), they in turn gain energy, which allows them to better resonate with Realm-R with their Sparks (i.e. make them more efficient)
Bonus quests for addition and multiplication elemental wisps: As the elemental wisps help people gain things they do need (e.g. finances, family members etc.) they in turn gain energy, which allows them to better resonate with Realm-R with their Sparks (i.e. make them more efficient)
Addition elemental wisps are attention-seeking. they like to add themselves to any party.
Multiplication elemental wisps can quickly become overbearing as as soon as you play with one, many more will quickly join in. They don't like to be alone and will almost always be found in large groups.
Division elemental wisps can generally be found hanging out by themselves, but will come together for large projects when needed. (introverted). They are not shy, but tend to create their own games for themselves. They can get grumpy when there are too many beings all in one spot.
Subtraction elemental wisps embody the inner editor mindset.

Four wisps / elements
Addition - the yellow wisps (short and pudgy, little bit rounded)Subtraction - the blue wisps (tall and thin, super long arms)
Division - the purple wisps (short with super long arms)
Multiplication - the red wisps (if not for their long legs, they would also be short and pudgy)
They are kept alive as people do maths, and they keep the world (Realm-R) alive.
Where they came from
These elemental wisps came from the wings of the Worldbuilders that had decided to stay in Realm-R after it entered the time stream. They took on the Spark from the Worldbuilders in order to run around Realm-R and keep breathing life into it for as long as maths is used as a language.Realm-R is made up of 6 Keystones denoting 6 mathematical umbrella topics (Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Probability) and the basic operations (the elemental wisps) are a part of all 6. Every location and creature in Realm-R is aligned to an umbrella maths topic.
Where they found
Elemental wisps are found throughout Realm-R.What they do
Whenever maths is invoked in Realm-R, relevant elemental wisps exchange their operation (+, -, ×, ÷) for its use. As operations are used in Realm-R, the Spark of life within elementals nearby resonate with Realm-R's base.Bonus quests for subtraction and division elemental wisps: As the elemental wisps help people get rid of things they don't need (e.g. negative world views, too many odd socks), they in turn gain energy, which allows them to better resonate with Realm-R with their Sparks (i.e. make them more efficient)
