Elementalist

Elemental philosophy swaps out a caster's usual spell list, treating fire, water, earth, and air as the raw material of every spell.

common

You revere the elements as the building blocks of creation and the source of all life. You believe that by balancing, mixing, and rearranging these elements, magic is made.

Prerequisites: You must have a spellcasting class feature that chooses spells from the arcane or primal spell list.

Elementalist Adjustments: Replace your spell list with the elemental spell list. Your actual magical tradition is unchanged, but you choose your spells from the elemental list instead. You must choose an elemental philosophy (detailed below), which determines which spells and other elemental magic you can use.

Druid Elementalist Adjustments: If you're a druid of the storm order and air is in your elemental philosophy, you can choose to replace your starting order spell, tempest surge, with updraft.

Elemental Sorcerer Adjustments: If you're a sorcerer with the elemental bloodline, you can replace your initial bloodline spell with an initial elemental focus spell, and your advanced bloodline spell with an advanced elemental focus spell. The initial and advanced elemental focus spells you select must have the same trait as your elemental bloodline.

Wizard Elementalist Adjustments: If you're a wizard, you can either choose to be a universalist or to follow an arcane school dedicated to one element from your elemental philosophy.
