Elementalist (Mage)
One of the foundations of the arcane arts is the understanding of the balance between the elements, the primal forces of the world: earth, air, fire, and water. While most mages work with all the different elements as versatile tools, some possess (or are drawn to forge) a deep connection with one or more of them in particular. Their focus on a particular element gives elementalists greater effectiveness in wielding (and resisting) it, and eventually deepens their understanding of the other elements. For some mages, these connections to the elements are profoundly spiritual, almost religious, while for others, it is all about knowledge, understanding, or power.
Class: Mage
Requirement: You must have one of the following talents: Air Arcana, Earth Arcana, Fire Arcana, or Water Arcana.
Novice: You gain a +2 bonus when resisting spells from your favored element. You can also easily identify spells used from your favored arcana and gain a +2 bonus when casting a spell from that Arcana.
Journeyman: Your knowledge of your element is deep. When casting spells of your favored Arcana, their cost in magic points is reduced by 3 to a minimum of 1.
Control the Elements:
You have also gained near-complete control of your favorite Element and can manipulate it at will. You can manipulate, change, increase, or snuff out your favored element in a 20ft radius from yourself. This is intended to give you minor control of your element and not to make overly grand gestures of power beyond your abilities. For this reason, the wording for this is intentionally vague and ultimately your GM decides what rolls and checks are needed to succeed.
The Element must already exist for you to manipulate it. For example, if your favored Arcana is Fire and you wish to create fire in a frozen tundra, you cannot summon fire. What you can do is find a means to light a torch and then manipulate that fire to spread from the torch to other areas.
Master: You understand the ties between elemental forces. You can choose a second favored Arcana from this list, and begin taking spells in that Arcana, regardless of Guardian affiliation.
Earth Arcana
Fire Arcana
Water Arcana
Air Arcana
Elemental Champion:
You are the very embodiment of the elements. Once a day you can transform into an Elemental of either of your favored Arcanas. While in this form you take on the abilities attributes, favored stunts, powers, and every aspect of the elemental. You do retain your mind, and your gear is absorbed into the form. You can maintain this form for 1 hour and may cast spells as normal while in this form. Any damage taken in this form, only harms the elemental form, if you are reduced to 0 HP, you revert to your normal self and any remaining damage goes to your normal pool of HP.
