Elementalist

An Elementalist is a spellcaster who learns about and gains power over the five magical elements: air, earth, fire, water, and wood. Elementalist talents focus on both the physical elements and the spirits they embody.

Class Changes

Use the Wizard from the player’s handbook with the following changes.

Elementalists are specialist wizards gaining all the bonuses outlined on page 54 of the PH for spells that have an Elemental effect all force spells are made elemental spells.

To offset these bonuses they may not cast any spell in the Schools of Nethermancy, Divination, Enchantment, or Illusion. All spells that have an Elemental/damage aspect [fire, earth, air, water, force etc.] can be memorized in two different ways, either as listed or with a different elemental effect. Change any spell components to reflect the new elemental effect. The Element must be picked at the time of memorization. The Elementalist does not need the Energy Substitution Feat to do this.

Example

Magic-Missile if memorized must have a elemental effect so the Elementalist memorizes it as Earth Darts with a Elemental Earth effect

Fireball may be memorized as Air Blast now with an elemental air effect.

Lightning Bolt may be memorized as Ice Spear now with an elemental water/ice effect

The School of Elementals consists of all arcane spells with an Elemental or Force effect.

Skills

Elementalists do not receive the Scribe Scroll feat for free. They do receive create elemental item feat at 3^rd level as a bonus feat.

Craft Elemental Item (Metamagic)

You can create Magic items imbued with one or more of the true elements.

Prerequisite: 3^rd level Elementalist

Benefits: You may create any Elemental item whose prerequisites you meet. Enchanting an elemental item takes one day for each 1,000 SP in its price. To enchant an elemental item the spellcaster must spend 1/25^th of the item’s price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this price. See Crispy for information on elemental items.
