a Sha’ir with an air Gen has Resist Force 5; a Sha’ir with a water Gen has Resist Cold 5; and a Sha’ir with an earth Gen has Resist Acid 5.Implements: Focus Gems and VesselsA focus gem or vessel (such as a specially prepared bottle or lamp) allows a Sha’ir to strengthen their connection with their Gen.  A Sha’ir using one of these implements with a magical bonus can add its enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls of Sha’ir powers, as well as Sha’ir paragon path powers, that have the Gen keyword.  Without these implements, a Sha’ir can still use powers that have the Gen keyword, but gains no bonus provided by a magical implement.  The gen can live quite comfortably inside the focus gem or vessel when it is not needed, and for the purposes of the gen (and only the gen) it is considered to be an extradimensional space.Level 1 At-Will Elemental Powers*Level 1 Encounter Elemental PowersLevel 1 Daily Elemental PowersLevel 2 Utility Elemental Powers*I will not presume to name elemental powers at this point, as it would apply to all Elemental classes, although I was tempted to use 'invocations'.</blockquote>
