Once per encounter you can invoke elemental power, filling yourself with the might of your elemental nature. With this elemental might you can wield special powers, as described below. You can only use Channel Element powers that match your element. You might gain additional uses for this power through feats or the Half Elemental paragon path.
Regardless of how many different uses for Channel Element you know, you can only use one such ability per encounter. In addition, some Channel Element powers can be used only once per day. Use of these powers counts against the one per encounter limit normally, but that particular power also cannot be used again until you take an extended rest.
