Yes, but the Golden Weapons ARE the elements. You see, Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth, combined, create. Golden POWER is how users that are NOT Gods are able to channel it. It's like lightning for us. The "Gods", so to speak, can just rain down lightning whenever they please, however, we, the boring (Hey!) human race, need something like a lightning rod to channel it.

Golden Power acts in the same way, and the Golden Weapons were forged from Golden Power.
