You can turn the phrase around to "elements of imagery." In truth, even "examples of imagery" would be accurate.
By the way, there is a nice article on imagery in Wikipedia.

elements of fantasy
I'm sorry, I'm not really sure I understand what is meant by مواطن الخيال here! Maybe some more context would help, if available?
But my first understanding was that it means sth like "elements of fantasy". That's at least a possibility to consider.

points that spark the imagination
From the context, I understand this to be: the points that sharpen/produce/deliver the imagination.
I read it also as:
points where imagination emanates from
or
points from which imagination emanates
or
origins of imagination
