Elementalist

An elementalist is a wizard that specializes in a particular elemental magic. Their arcane expertise focuses on an element of their choice, coming in many different varieties of power sets. They can use the power of the elemental planes to enhance their own attacks and defenses. Pyromancers, cryomancers, electromancers, brontomancers, and oxymancers all fall into this category of elemental study. If you choose to become an elementalist, you are your element, and your element is you.

Elementalists practice somewhat controversial self-experimentation techniques that magically fuses their life force with arcane power derived from the elemental planes. They learn how to saturate their very soul with their element, infusing their own bodies with its potent energy. The original idea for these experiments was based upon sorcerous inspiration, but most sorcerers don't posses the necessary mental acuity to design and perform these dangerous planar rites and rituals on themselves.

Attuned Element

At 2nd level, you specialize in a specific elemental study. Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. This damage type is known as your attuned element. You have taken the arcane essence of this element straight from the elemental planes and infused it into your very heart and soul, allowing its use to become more like a second nature to you as you study it further. Your attuned element is used by features you gain later.

Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Primordial.

Elemental Heart

Starting at 2nd level, your heart beats to the thrum of the energy in the elemental planes. whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals your attuned element's damage type, you can use a bonus action to cause elemental magic to erupt from you. This eruption causes any creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take an amount of your attuned element's damage type equal to half your wizard level (rounded down).

Arcane Veins

Starting at 6th level, your elemental studies and self-experimentation have caused your very veins to become saturated with your preferred attuned element, changing your physiology to better incorporate it into your attacks and defenses. The damage type for this feature is based on the damage type you chose for your Attuned Element.

It also ignores resistance to that damage type.
