Elementalist
About this class
Elementalists have absolute control over one or more elements. They can manifest what they imagine, and although not the best learned or versatile of all casters, are very sought after for their combat prowess. However, there is much more to them than being simple magic artillery, and they are also famous for creating wonderful works of elemental art, helping build amazing pieces of architecture, and being cunning blademasters.

Major Elementalism
You get the Control element card from the Elements domain for free. It does not count against your maximum Domain cards and you can not place it into your Vault.
In addition, you can perform subtle, harmless elemental effects at will. Such effects include, a puff of smoke, lighting or extinguishing a candle, create a refreshing breeze, filling a glass of water, moving pebbles, writing in the sand, etc.

Elemental Consumption
When you mark any number of stress, place that many D4 on your character sheet, up to your Spellcast Trait. You can force a target within close range to make a reaction roll (13), and roll all the dice. The target takes the result as magic damage on a failure, and half as much on a success. You then clear all dice.
At the end of a session, clear all dice.
