"Mancer" and "mancy" derive form Greek words meaning "prophet" and "prophecy." For this reason, they're usually associated with divination.

There's ... a lot of different types of -mancy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_divination

In fantasy fiction, it's become more associated with just one of the many names for magic. Chronomancy, necromancy, the sundry forms of elementalism (aeromancy, aqua or hydromancy, geomancy, pyromancy), etc.

perhaps it would be a "prophemancer".

deduction from what barney posted that would mean this one is a prophet of prophecy.

A necromancer was someone that could communicate with the dead.
Necro- means "dead" in greek.
-Mancer means "medium/seer/diviner".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromancy

An "elemental mancer" would need a Greek name more accurately but you could go with "Elemancer" I suppose.

Path of Exile did the same. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Elemancer

But if you're focusing on elemental magic (Fireballs, Ice Storms etc) and not summoning elementals, then Elementalist would fit more.
