Stylistic choices

I tend to prefer to use namespaces filled with constants, rather than using enums in most cases. For example using

namespace Element {
const uint8_t No_Element = 0;
const uint8_t Air = 1;
const uint8_t Water = 2;
const uint8_t Earth = 3;
const uint8_t Fire = 4;
};

instead of


enum Element {
No_Element, Air, Water, Earth, Fire
};

Is this bad practice?

Except here's the thing...

Say I have a function where I only need the elements namespace and not the Attack_Damage namespace. I can

int8_t Damage_Multiplier(const uint8_t element) {
using namespace Elements;
// My code here, uninhibited by Elements::Fire shit
}

and outside, where I have to make the Elements and Attack_Damage namespaces play nicely, I can refer to them by Elements::Fire and Attack_Damage::Fire respectfully.
