Silly, isn't it? Like backstabbing ghosts.

Not exactly. By a well placed concussion to elemental's quasiportal tissue you disrupt its antiharmonic vibrations which serve as a connector between the pseudopodic ultraviolet sensors and the smeltium core. The elemental subsequently shuts down until the crystallic formations of smeltium gain enough energy from the quasiportal tissue to resume vibrations. Some additional time is needed to achieve proper counterresonance. Until then, the elemental is basically senseless. The amount of energy drained upon impact depends on the heat dissipation ratio of the object you hit the elemental with. As a matter of lucky coincidence, the aforementioned ratio is nearly optimal for a blackjack (although a plastic flush toilet would be better).
All the above has been proven scientifically, so don't argue.

It's always amazing how simple things can be put into most complicated phrases. :p
So you want to tell us the smeltium core gets a knockout punch and that's it? Allright then.
But what's a smeltium core? And how do you hit something with a plastic flush toilet?

Haha! Great stuff.
The backstabbing of apparitions, OTOH, that's another explanation. Just as logical.

It's the inner organ of an elemental, made of smeltium.

Usually, you pick up a plastic flush toilet and throw it forward, so that it hits the elemental. You need to detach it from all the plumbing first. You don't need the whole toilet, you just need the plastic part, that is - the water container. Make sure there is water inside.

Does the process require holy water or will any toilet do? You know, there's quite a limited number of consecrated plastic flush toilets.

Indeed. Unlike apparitions, fire elementals do not generate a subsonic protective feedback wave, which disintegrates water into hydrogen and ozone. This works in our favour, because the water doesn't need to undergo the deuterization process (in layman's terms: it doesn't need to be holy). Which is great, because all that "holy water" stuff is very radioactive.
Plastic flush toilets are preferable, because they maximise the probablity of breaking upon impact, thus releasing the dihydrogen monoxide stored inside. Also, marble flush toilets are too heavy to be thrown around.

Well, that explains a lot. I always thought there was a mundane reason for celibacy.
