Re: Martial arts nations...
The way I would do it would be to have summons which kicked out a W/FE lookalike sacred which when they were badly wounded would transform into a more powerful elemental-based unit. Your enemy wouldn't know what kind of unit they'd be up against until they successfully attacked them, because they'd look just like W/FE, and you could combine them in armies with "normal" W/FE.
The concept comes disturbingly close to Power Rangers, but let's try not to admit that to ourselves or each other, shall we?
