A person with one personality type empathizes with a specific element...[now running from said devil...]nix4, Have you checked then "Elementalist" book form MGP (part of the encyclopedia Arcana series, I think...)? The abilities aren't locked to a specific or new class. Any arcane caster can use the abilities, provided that they are willing to sacrifice xp to learn each 'circle' or level of knowledge (there were 5). Each school of thought gives it own benefits, including an extra spell per day (which has to be from your chosen elements circles), and access to some spells usually concidered divine. 5th circle elementalists start getting into the philisophical ideals behind the elements (change and emotion for fire, healing and life for water, etc)The elementalist may also sacrifice prepared spells or spontaneous spells slots, which are converted to elemental energy. The energy can then be used to create elemental effects (the tables listed in the book are vague, giving creative licens eto the character). The higher your mastery (the more circles you know), the more enery you can use at one time. Also, the elementalist is not limited to one school. They may take three, but must choose a preferred element. They cannot gain circles of knowledge in the element opposed to their preferred element. Their prefered element must always be at the highest level (so a 5th circle Fire Elementalist could learn Wind and Earth circles, but only up to the 4th circle)If your looking for a character that may use elements equally, this may help. You could rule that there are no opposing elements, but you cannot learn a higher circle in an element until you have learned the lower circle for all 4 elements (ie: you can't learn 2nd circle knowledge in any one element until you have learned 1st circle knowledge in all four elements). This may seem overly powerful, but this method is also very costly when you concider the xp sacrificed.</blockquote>
