You form a symbiotic bond with a minor elemental of raw energy. It may be a native to the Plane of Ash, the scion of an air elemental, or even artificially created. Whatever its origin, the connection enhances your mental prowess and grants you some power to direct the flow of electricity. You gain the following traits:
- Your mind is enhanced to process information faster and recall details with more clarity. You are able to recall details you’ve seen or heard with almost perfect accuracy, and can learn Intelligence based skills and languages at a faster rate than normal. With the help of an instructor, becoming proficient in a new language or Intelligence based skill takes you five workweeks, minus a number of weeks equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum one). This time is doubled without the help of an instructor. The DM may decide that the absence of necessary facilities, knowledge or speakers of a particular language makes it impossible to learn some skills.
- Live Conduit: When you or a target within 5 feet of you suffers lightning damage, you may use a reaction to redirect a portion of the damage equal to your Charisma modifier + your character level to a new target of your choosing within 60 feet. If the initial target was not you, you and the initial target split the remaining damage (rounded towards you). You may use this ability once, regain the use when you finish a short rest.
-
Innate Spellcasting: You learn one of the following cantrips: dancing lights, shocking grasp, spare the dying. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this cantrip.
You learn one of the following spells and may cast it at its lowest level once for free, regaining the use when you complete a long rest: absorb elements, expeditious retreat. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell. You may swap this spell for a different one from the same list when you gain a level.
If your chosen spell is absorb elements, you may only use this spell as a reaction against fire, lighting, and thunder damage.

Posted Sep 19, 2021I have endeavoured to make this feat as user-friendly as possible, and have tried to keep it balanced when compared to official feats. I welcome all constructive criticism and feedback. If you find that a particular point is not clear, or if feel that the balance is off, I hope and ask that you will leave a comment. Nothing excites me more than knowing that something I have designed is being play-tested.
Update note: As of V.4, the feat no longer requires a prerequisite. This may effect the way the feat balances with official feats or with others in this series.
It is part of a collection of feats along the same vein, and I hope that if you enjoy this feat, you will explore the others in the collection. Search Biscuits_of_Rowan for more examples.

Posted Jan 24, 2022If you are enjoying your elemental spirit guide, why not take a look at my related spells? Conjure a steed that runs like the wind or a guardian wolf of liquid fire with Find Elemental Companion. Or, introduce yourself to Sprout, an adorable wood golem with Summon Elemental Golem.
If you feel that something could be better balanced or worded clearer, I am always delighted to receive feedback from play testers, so don’t be shy.
