[QUOTE="Nahat Anoj, post: 4724434, member: 25075"] I was reading "Beyond the Mottled Tower," February's installment of the Scales of War AP. I found this passage in a sidebar: [SPOILER]Blood chaos is a potent acidic distillation of raw elemental essence, first collected and refined from the Elemental Chaos by Djamela, a long-dead efreet [B]conjurer[/B]. The efreet created this horrid ooze in the course of experimenting with the fundamental mutability of her home plane, storing it in a vast reservoir in her remote tower home.[/SPOILER] The emphasis is mine. Sure, conjurer is just a generic word for wizard, but so is sorcerer or invoker, and those have specific D&D meanings... What if conjurer is the name for a class that uses the elemental power source - if it is, my bet is on Elemental Controller because, if the invoker is any indication, the old schools of magic for wizards seem natural fits for Controller classes. So this is just one word in a sidebar - it probably may not mean anything. :) But, I like how WotC seems to be indicating that "elemental" doesn't mean just air, earth, fire, and water, but also chaos on in general. In 4e, "elemental" is a concept that encompasses things like Limbo, Pandemonium, and raw, wild potentiality. I think it helps broaden the possible class concepts for the Elemental source. [/QUOTE]
