[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3741369, member: 13966"] For reference, the 3.0 Elemental Savant had a rather clear list of entry requirements. Here's the section of it regarding Spells. Bolding emphasis mine. By the 3.0 version, you can qualify after 5th-level. The summon spell doesn't have to possess the related descriptor (it's separate, and anyway, the Summon Monster and Summon Nature's Ally spells in 3.0 are incapable of having the Acid, Cold, or Electricity descriptors). So you could learn Summon Monster III as the requisite 3rd-level spell prerequisite of Elemental Savant, along with two equal or lower-level spells of the appropriate energy descriptor. Such as Melf's Acid Arrow and Lesser Acid Orb, or Melf's Acid Arrow and Acid Splash (though Acid Splash wasn't in T&B nor the PHB for 3.0; it originated in Magic of Faerûn). Magic of Faerûn has acid spells of 0-level, 1st, and 3rd (as well as 4th and higher; there aren't any 2nd-level ones in MoF, but there's still Acid Arrow in the PHB), so you might want to look there for more acid spells.
