access to any others. While you are not entwined with an
element, you do not have any spells of that element
prepared.
You may maintain your concentration on a spell even if
you lose access to it by entwining with a different element.
 
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Elementalist
spells, as their power derives from your awareness of and
connection with the elements and their properties. 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 an Elementalist spell you
cast and when making an attack roll with one.

  
At 3rd level, when you entwine with an element your bond
with it bolsters your physical form. You gain certain
resistances when entwined:
Fire: Resistance to Fire damage.
Water: Resistance to Cold damage.
Air: Resistance to Lightning damage.
Earth: Resistance to Bludgeoning damage.

  

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 15th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice
by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above
20 using this feature.

 
The moment of entwinement is an instant of shifting,
unformed potential. By 6th level you have learned to take
advantage of this moment to reshape the elements as you
desire. If you cast a spell immediately after entwining with a
new element, then you may replace the damage type of that
cast with the damage type of another spell you know, from
either the previous element or the new one.

 
Upon reaching 18th level, you have strengthened your bond
with the elements to the point that you can channel
catastrophic power. When you entwine with an element,
you may choose to overload yourself instead of losing your
previous entwinement. For the next hour your existing
entwinements are not ended by entwining with a new
element, you may activate any of Elemental Entwinement’s
magical effects as a bonus action without entwining, and
you may use Chaotic Entwinement at any time, selecting
from the damage types of any spell you have prepared.
Channeling the elements this way takes a terrible toll, and
you cannot easily close yourself to this power. You cannot
leave this state until it ends. At the end of the hour you gain
one level of exhaustion and end all your entwinements,
regaining all spent entwinement dice.


At 20th level, you are an unsurpassed grandmaster of the
elements. Channeling the four elements comes as easily to
you as breathing, and the scale of your powers can only be
described as cataclysmic. Elemental Overload no longer
exhausts you. When you are entwined with all four
elements, you may expend any number of spell slots to
trigger some monumental elemental event. Work with your
DM to determine an appropriate contextual occurrence.
The scale of this event should depend on the number of
slots expended. An Elementalist unleashing all their power
can accomplish feats like raising a river to flood, triggering
a volcanic eruption, or turning a mountain into a valley.
