Currently, this section contains only, the converted elementalist wizard from Tome og Magic, but I hope that other classes will appear on the site in the future.
The
elemental wizard is a new variety of specialist mage beginning to appear
throughout the lands. These wizards scorn the "accepted" theories of
magical classification (the rigid school structure) in favor of a holistic,
natural understanding of magic. The result is elementalism.
Elementalism is not a school in itself; it is an area of specialization focusing
on spells involving the four prime elements of air, earth, fire, and water.
These spells may be from any of the nine schools of magic. The fireball
spell, for example, belongs to the evocation school, but according to
elementalists, it is also a spell of elemental fire. Unlike other specialists,
an elementalist does not specialize in a single school of magic, but may learn
and cast spells belonging to any school. Although this may seem to be a great
advantage, elementalists suffer considerable penalties when learning and casting
spells that do not relate directly to the elements.
Each element has a diametrical opposite: air opposes earth, fire opposes water,
and vice versa. Every elementalist must choose one element as his specialty. He
may learn and cast any spells relating to his chosen element and gains
advantages when doing so. He may also cast spells of the two elements which do
not oppose his specialty, for which he receives no bonuses or penalties.
Consequently, he may not learn or cast any spells associated with the element
that opposes his element of specialty. For example, a fire elementalist may cast
spells relating to fire, air, or earth, but may not cast spells of elemental
water. A specialist is also prohibited from using magical items that duplicate
spell effects of his oppositional element.

Elementalist wizards gain the following modifiers to their spellcraft checks, when determining if they can learn a spell and when researching spells:
| Spell is of Chosen Element: | +2 | ||
| Spell is of Neutral Element: | +1 | ||
| Spell is of Opposed Element: | Cannot learn, cast, or research | ||
| Spell is not of the Elements: | -2 | ||
Elementalist wizards can prepare one additional (of the element selected as a speciality) per spell level each day.
Elementalist wizards can prepare one additional (of the element selected as a speciality) per spell level each day.
When an elementalist casts spells from his chosen element, the save DC is modified by +2.
Because elementalists have an enhanced understanding of spells within their element, they receive a +2 competence bonus when making saving throws against those spells.
Elementalist wizards gain the feat Empower Spell for free, but it may only be used with spells from their element of speciality.
