If I may interject; I am sorry for any disruption I caused by my previous confusion on whether the Fountain of Youth is an item or a location in the Nanatsu no Taizai universe. But here are the facts.

1. King's flashback in Chapter 21 (page 11) confirms the Fountain of Youth is the cup. King then states in the same chapter (page 15) that Ban "stole" the water from the fountain.

2. Hauser's ability is, without doubt, wind/ air based. This was shown in chapter 29 (page 8). where he blows the Northern Barbarians away in what is most certainly NOT a tornado (though a tornado in and of itself is entirely aerial, anyway).

3. While Gilthunder has demonstrated some level of weather manipulation, he is also shown to be capable of discharging lightning (or electricity - but these are synonymous in context) from his body. Not to mention EVERY attack we've ever seen him perform has either shown him charging lightning through his sword (chapter 6, chapter 29), firing lightning from his sword to rain down from the sky (chapter 29) or binding people and objects (chapter 2, chapter 6). The obvious conclusion is that his ability is lightning manipulation.

4. We have no idea what happened to the Fountain after Ban drank from it. It's hinted that he planted the Almoca seed (chapter 27, page 8), but nothing is ever seen of the Fountain after the Bandit Ban side story and King's flashback only shows the pedestal on which it stood.
