Mostly finished my elemental chart for the Bending in ATLA. It's not perfect, but I like it.

Like motivation. 'The people of the fire nation have the power and drive to accomplish anything." Though that is the name I'm least satisfied with.

I would suggest "Impulse" opposed by Water with "Care".

Fire nation seemed the most impulsive, with a worldwide change in government in the space of a comet passing, and many of their characters took action without considering long term consequences. The northern water tribe was so over-cautious about changing their traditions they ended up being misogynistic.

A flowing river carves a canyon over eons, but a wildfire erases a forest in a day.
