Is see where you're coming from with Frost and Lunar. I put Lunar down simply because it was better than Wraith. As for the others, Smoke is literally the air (CO2 to be specific) released from fire. I can see it being used in a way akin to Darkness techniques, but that doesn't mean it should be one.

Mist is seen far more often than just when it's cold out. It occurs at the base of a waterfall, or even from a hose, to name a couple examples. It's just water particles drifting on air.

And Growth... well, I'm not overly familiar with Growth, but I'm fairly certain that it doesn't refer specifically to plants. It's a strengthening element, not just a plant-growing element.

My thought process is generally "name the element by what it looks like" so when i say that smoke would sound better as a wind/dark combo it's more to do with that black wind would look like smoke, it dosen't really mean it is smoke, same as when i suggested nitrogen as an ice/water combo many moons ago.

Fair dues, Fair dues, it's probably because of where i live that i think of mist having more to do with the cold rather just water and air, the name itself also just 'sounds' cold if ya get what i mean.

Me thinks growth was my idea which, like nitrogen, was suggested many moons ago. i think the idea was to do with under-growth, however given your discription of the nature element, i has gotten an idea for it. lets say that nature is able to manipulate existing plants but can't force them to grow rapidly or rejuvinate them to create more while growth would be able too, maybe like "the natural energy fertilises the earth" even in places where plants can't normally grow. this would probably steal plnats thunder though.
