Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5444849" data-attributes="member: 57383">Yes it needs a <s>bit</s> lot of work, that was just the rough outline.  I knew the element creature template isn't SRD, which is why I reluctantly left out any mention of it.Here's a more detailed revision, with the addition of "elemental construction":Elemental Transubstantiation (Su): Once per day an elemaster can transubstantiate all material objects and corporeal creatures in an area of up to 100 5-ft. squares that is within a range of 1000 ft. The affected area can be any shape. The elemaster can affect an area of any shape it wishes and exclude creatures within the affected area from the transubstantiation effect. All affected targets must succeed at a DC X Fort? or be transformed into elemental substances, the effects depend on the elemaster's intentions. Creatures that have the same elemental type as the elemaster are not affected by its transubstantiation; targets with no material substance are also unaffected, such as incorporeal creatures or objects of force such as an unseen servant. If the elemaster wishes destruction, the target will instantly evaporate/crumble into gravel/burn to ashes/melt into puddles [delete as appropriate]. The transformed residue of creatures destroyed by elemental transubstantiation are not the remains of a living creature and can not be used for raise dead or resurrection spells. A miracle, true resurrection or wish spell is necessary to bring back to life a creature destroyed by this transformation. Alternatively, the elemaster can transform material objects or creatures instead of destroying them, as follows: Transformed creatures become beings of elemental substance. Their type  changes to elemental (if their intelligence is 2 or less) or outsider  (if their intelligence is 3 or higher) and they gain the same subtype as  the elemaster. They also gain a fly (perfect)/burrow/swim [delete as appropriate]  speed equal to their fastest speed. Note that these transformed  creatures are now susceptible to the elemasters' master elemental power  (see  below). Transformed objects in the area  can be used to form a structure of any shape the elemaster desires, the structure resembles a permanent solid fog surrounded by a permanent wind wall/a double strength wall of iron/a permanent solid fog surrounded by a permanent wall of fire/a double strength and double damage permanent wall of ice [delete as appropriate], and have Y hp per 5-ft. square. Treat this structure as a permanent magic item, it is not affected by dispel magic or break enchantment and is immune to effects of the elemaster's type. It takes a mage's disjunction spell or more powerful abjuration to destroy the structure (which is CL 84 and has a +Y on all its saves). What do you have against summoning a Primal or two? They are lower tier than the Elemaster. Is the problem the big jump in HD/size between the two?The elemental swarm spell allows the summoning of  2d4 Large, 1d4 Huge and 1 Greater Elemental, so I fancied a similar range of sizes for the "super-summon". Something like 2d4 Elder elementals / 1d4 Advanced (48HD) Elder elementals or monoliths / 1 Primal elemental would seem to fit nicely.Alternatively the top rung could be summoning another elemaster with the note like "an elemaster will only summon another elemaster under dire circumstances, since it becomes indebted to the other elemaster."</blockquote>
