Elemental Transformation
Beginning at 18th level, once a day, you are able to connect to the Primordial realms and, as an action, you can transform into any of the four Elementals.
If the genasi traits you've chosen at 15th level match the form you choose, any attacks as the Elemental are done so with advantage.
- The transformation lasts one hour and counts as a wild shape and not a polymorph spell.
- Since it works as a Wild Shape, any damage that reduces your hit points to 0 then carries over to your regular, concious form.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you attune to your surroundings, allowing you to cast spells.
- Cantrips
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list. You learn an additional Druid cantrip of your choice at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Refer to the spellcasting table below.
- Spell Slots
The Elementalist Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Detect Magicand have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Detect Magic using either slot.
- Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since you draw power from the world around you. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your wisdom modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your wisdom modifier
