From what i know, any elemental force could be generated using solely Magic Power, but the upkeep and Mana usage is comparatively too high to use in any scenario.

This can be solved to a certain extent by either using an existing nearby natural source of the element, or with "Affinities". If both of the conditions are applied, then the Mana upkeep can be reduced by a lot. But normally the main aspect which makes it easier to cast any Magic is "affinity". Hajime (pre-fall) had neither high Mana capacity nor any affinities, which made it really hard for him to use any spells (its not like he couldn't, it was too hard and complicated to make it work normally).

Also, Elements could be generated either by Affinity or Magic Circle formula (i think we can compare the Tortus Magic to Alchemy/Chemistry system somewhat).
