Primordial Sorcery

Your innate magic comes from one of the oldest and most primal sources, the elements themselves. You might've been exposed to one of the Elemental Planes, or perhaps you can trace your lineage back to a noble genie. Whatever the case, a primordial element is suffused to your very being.

Form of the Archaic

14th-level Primordial Sorcery feature

You have reached a level of attunement that you can now become one with your element. As an action, you can magically transform yourself into a water elemental, earth elemental, fire elemental, or air elemental, depending on your element, for up to 1 hour. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you drop to 0 hit points or die.

• While you are transformed, your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the elemental, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies.
• When you transform, you assume the elemental's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
• You retain your known languages, the ability to cast spells, the ability to use class features, and any benefits from your class, race, or other sources. Your equipment merges into your elemental form, and cannot be used until you revert to your normal form. You can use your Primordial Defiance feature while in your elemental form, preventing you from reverting back to your normal form.
• In addition to the traits that the elemental has, you also have the False Appearance trait while in your elemental form. While you remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from a normal example of your element.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 7 sorcery points to use it again.

As an action, you can magically transform yourself into an air elemental for up to 1 hour.

Earth

As an action, you can magically transform yourself into an earth elemental for up to 1 hour.

Elemental Mastery

18th-level Primordial Sorcery feature

Once you reach 18th level, your control over your element has grown so that you can completely bend it to your will. As a bonus action, you can spend 6 sorcery points to take control of your element within a 100-foot radius for up to 10 minutes. For the duration, you can create effects in the area based on your element.

You can spend 1 or more sorcery points to extend the duration of this feature. For each point you spend, the duration is extended by an additional 10 minutes. You can decide to spend sorcery points in this way at any point during the duration (no action required).

You can only have one effect at a time that replicates the effects of a spell. If you attempt to use another one while having one active, the first immediately vanishes. The only exception to this are creations made from stone, which freeze in place instead.

Water

• As a bonus action, you can double your swim speed while in the area you are controlling, as you use the water to push you towards your destination.

• As an action, you can replicate the effects of the Wall of Water spell anywhere within the area you are controlling. When done in this way, there is no limit to how long a straight wall can be or what the diameter of a ringed wall can be, so long as it still fits within the area you are controlling. Additionally, you can shift frozen sections out of the way using a bonus action. The wall lasts until you replicate the effects of another spell, until you dispel it, or until your control over the area ends.
• As an action, you can replicate the effects of the Watery Sphere spell anywhere within the area you are controlling. When done in this way, the sphere is created by drawing on the water in the area, as opposed to being conjured into existence.

If you attempt to creature another watery sphere while you already have one, the first one immediately falls and releases all creatures within it.

On a failed saving throw, the creature is restrained by earthen bonds. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. If you attempt to restrain multiple creatures at once, you must use either your action or your bonus action on each turn to sustain them. If you do not, the earthen bonds immediately fall away and release the creatures held by them.
• As an action, you can replicate the effects of the Move Earth spell anywhere within the area you are controlling. When done in this way, there is no limit to the area you can move, though the restrictions on what you can do with the earth still apply. Additionally, the changes you make move much faster.
