Select one or two of the following weapons to manifest. You can manifest the same weapon in each hand, or different weapons in each hand. The weapons last until you drop them, summon new weapons, or dismiss them as a bonus action. **Primal Flames.** You conjure flames around one of your hands. These become a natural one-handed melee weapon that deals `d6` fire damage on hit, and has the Light, Thrown (30/90), and Special properties. It sheds 20 feet of bright light and an additional 20 feet of dim light while manifested. When you throw it, the flames reignite in your hand immediately. - **Special:** This weapon counts as a free hand for the purposes of grappling. When you successfully initiate a Grapple with it, the target takes `d6` fire damage. **Frost Shield.** You conjure a slab of ice. This becomes a shield you can wield in that hand. Summoning the shield in this way equips it. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one shield at a time. **Icy Claws.** You conjure icy claws that grow forth from one of your hands. This becomes a one handed natural melee weapon that deals `d6` slashing or cold damage on hit (your choice), and has the Light and Special properties. If the damage die is increased to a d8, it instead becomes `d4` slashing and `d4` cold damage. You choose which damage type to add your modifier to when you deal damage. - **Special:** This weapon counts as a free hand for the purposes of grappling. When you successfully initiate a Grapple with it, the target takes `d6` cold damage. **Lightning Lash.** You conjure a whip of lightning, tethered to one of your hands. This becomes a one handed natural melee weapon that deals `d6` lightning damage on hit, and has the Light, Reach, and Special properties. It sheds 10 feet of bright light and an additional 10 feet of dim light while manifested. - **Special:** If you hit a creature with this weapon you can pull the creature up to 5 feet towards you. ### Elemental Manipulation (Level 1) At 1st level, you learn the cantrips [manipulate fire](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/manipulate-fire-kt-cll.md) and [manipulate water](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/manipulate-water-kt-cll.md). ### Innate Magic (Level 1) Additionally when you select this bond, you gain access to several innate magical abilities by channeling the power of your primal connection. You gain the following spells at the listed levels, and can cast each spell once without components or spell slots. Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot cast it again until you complete a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier for these spells. You can cast a spell again before completing a long rest by spending 1 + the level of the spell Endurance Dice. **Innate Spells (1/long rest each)** | Warden Level | Spells | |--------------|--------| | 1st | [elemental rebuke](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/aldricors-elemental-rebuke-thearenaguy.md) | | 3rd | [entomb](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/entomb-kt-cll.md) | | 5th | [cold snap](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/cold-snap-kt-cll.md) | | 9th | sleet storm | | 13th | [fire cyclone](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/fire-cyclone-kt-cll.md) | | 17th | fire shield | ^innate-spells-1-long-rest-each ### Elemental Interdiction (Level 3) Starting at 3rd level, your Primal Interdiction becomes a buffeting maelstrom of elemental power when you manifest an Elemental Armament. The difficult terrain of your Primal Interdiction affects flying creatures within range, and you can select one of the following effects (selecting each time you manifest an Elemental Armament). - **Creeping Frost:** Creatures that start their turn within the area of your Primal Interdiction have their movement speed reduced by 10 feet. - **Blazing Pyre:** Fire burns fiercely around you, creatures of your choice that end their turn within the area of your Primal Interdiction take `d6` fire damage. - **Static Field:** The first time a hostile creatures moves 5 feet or more within your Primal Interdiction, they take `d8` lightning damage. Once this damage occurs, it cannot occur again until the start of your turn. The damage of the Blazing Pyre and Charged Field effects increases by one additional die of damage at 11th level (`2d6` for Blazing Pyre, `2d8` for Charged Field). ### Elemental Reflection (Level 3) Additionally at 3rd level, when you expend an [Endurance Die](/3-Content/Compendiums/classes/warden-kt-cll.md#Endurance%20Dice%20(Level%202)) to block the damage against a melee attack, the attacker takes cold, fire or lightning damage (your choice) equal to the amount of damage blocked. ### Elemental Body (Level 7) Starting at 7th level, you gain resistance to your choice of cold, fire, or lightning damage. When you complete a long rest, you can change which damage type you resist. ### Primal State (Level 7) Additionally at 7th level, you can expend one [Endurance Die](/3-Content/Compendiums/classes/warden-kt-cll.md#Endurance%20Dice%20(Level%202)) to cast [become fire](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/become-fire-kt-cll.md), [become water](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/become-water-kt-cll.md), or [become wind](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/become-wind-kt-cll.md). ### Elemental Form (Level 14) Starting at 14th level, you can cast [form of fire](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/form-of-fire-kt-cll.md), [form of ice](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/form-of-ice-kt-cll.md), or [form of wind](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/form-of-wind-kt-cll.md) without expending a spell slot. When you cast the spell this way, you can cast the spell as a bonus action, and it does not require concentration. Once per turn during the transformation, you can use the action it grants in place of an attack made as part of the Attack action. Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest. You can use it again before completing a long rest by expending 6 Endurance Dice. ### Paraelemental Interdiction (Level 14) Additionally at 14th level, when you activate your Elemental Interdiction, you can select two options, activating both effects. ### Cataclysm Unleashed (Level 17) Starting at 17th level, when you use your Elemental Form ability, you can instead cast form of the elements, and are no longer limited to using the action they grant in place of an attack once per turn, as long as you use two different actions granted by the different forms. When you cast [form of the elements](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/form-of-the-elements-kt-cll.md) this way, you can choose to become a Large sized creature for the duration of the spell. While in this form, the damage dice of your Elemental Armament and Elemental Interdiction effects are doubled. Once you do this, you cannot do so until you complete a long rest.
