To SilentRanger: Actually, if the Wanderer is an elementalist, he may be able to control the elements if he has formed a covenant with a mamono elemental. Things like raising a wall of earth or performing an air slash aren't unheared of when dealing with those kinds of elementalists.

In contrast, if he's in a covenant with a pure elemental, then yes, the passive rules apply.
