Elemental Distilate

3rd-level Elementalist feature

Starting at 3rd level, you have begun to unravel the most. basic building blocks of magic. Using advanced alchemical procedures you have found a way to distill elements into their most raw and powerful forms. Using a custom vambrace and gloves, you have found a way to effectively channel this primal magic. At the end of a long rest, you can use your alchemist tools or tinker's tools to magically condense a number of primal magics as shown on the vials redied column of the chart. From Level 1-20

Arcanic Vambrace

3rd-level Elemenalist feature

At 3rd level, you've learned to create an arcane infused channeling apparatus consisting of a vambrace and gloves connected via reinforced tubing. At the end of a long rest, you can use your alchemist tools or tinker's tools to magically repair or recreate the apparatus****y one such device can exit at a time, and should you try to create a second while another already exists, the magic will dissipate from the prior rending it unusable.

As an action you can socket a vial into the vambrace and saturate the apparatus with primal magics. Doing so grants access to a wide variety of abilities based on the elemental distillate socketed (use vial charges to activate, Elementalist spells, adaptations (lvl9), and change the damage type of your Arcane Gauntlets)

In order to change. the current primal magic stored in the apparatus, you must first flush the system, as mixing any combination of primal distillates. can have explosive repercussions. As an action you can flush the system of one vial, rendering it empty, and re-saturate the apparatus with another vial. 

Energy Condensing

5th-level Elementalist feature

Starting at 5th level you have begun to streamline the magical mechanics of distillation. If the need ever arises, you can attempt to create primal distillates while in the field. During a short rest, you can refill any spent vials up to your maximum readied vials.

Arcanic Gauntlets

You have taken extra care in reinforcing the gloves of your apparatus, allowing them to be used for precision application of primal magics. Whenever a vial is socketed, your unarmed attacks deal 1d8 plus your INT modifier damage. Damage type is based on your current socketed vial.

Damage increases by 1d8 for each socketed vial.

Elemental Adaptation

9th-level Elementalist feature

Starting at 9th level you have learned to infuse the distillates into more useful ways, ranging from defensive to utilitarian applications (see Elemental adaptation table below)

Whenever you take damage in combat matching one of the vials you have socketed, you can use your reaction to gain resistance to that damage type for the next minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier per short rest

Elemental Mastery

15th-level Elementalist feature


By 15th level you have begun to master the elemental distillation processes in all forms. All Elemental Adaptations range and duration are doubled.

Arcane Gauntlets now deal 1d10 per socketed vial.

When you use your reaction to gain resistance to an attack with Elemental Adaptation, your vial of the corresponding type will regain charges equal to the damage negated.
