Conduits were created long ago, and therefore their physical age is estimated to be many centuries old. It doesn't matter, though, as they are immortal in terms of biological aging. You are immune to magical aging effects.

Conduits tend toward the alignment of their creator, though they will often lean towards neutrality.

Choose an element from acid, cold, fire, or lightning. You bear a core comprised of that element, which exists at the center of your body. You gain features that change depending on the core you bear.

 Your elemental nature is represented by the following benefits:

• You have resistance to the damage type of the your core.
• You don’t need to drink or breathe, but you must still eat.
• You are immune to disease.

As an action you can emit your core's element in a 10-foot radius from yourself. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 damage of your core's type. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

The damage of this ability increase to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 11th, and 5d6 at 17th level. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you must finish a long rest before doing so again.

You emit bright light in a 15-foot cone and dim light for an additional 15 feet wherever you look. You choose to turn this light off or on (no action required).

You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
