Elementalism is a bond between a being and the Elementals. The Elementals are the beings who make up the physical plane, the basis for every nonliving thing we see or hear. They show respect for the Elementalists and the Elementalists show respect for them. Elementals are impartial to Od, as they are unaffected, but have an aversion to warp, as it causes them pain, disfigurement, and death, since it is harmful to the land, and therefore, the Elementals.
There is a mutual agreement between the Elementals and the Elementalists. In exchange for protecting them from and reversing warp, the Elementals agree to serve and aid the Elementalists. But there is no doubt that the Elementalist are not grateful for these abilities and will do anything to help out Elementals suffering from warp. There are three types of Elementalists, for the three different bonds shared.
Elemental Shifter Anchor 0/P 8 CP
Elemental Shifters have learned to mimic Elementals in both shape and abilities. They are able to shift into Elementals and therefore are able to connect with the world around them better. May use Elemental Shifter cards. May only have one Elementalism anchor.

May use Elemental Summoner cards. All augmentation cards are to be played when summoned. (The cards stay drained until the elemental leaves or dies, at which point, they can be gained again through any regular means.) May only have one Elementalism anchor.
Elemental Upgrader Anchor 0/P 8CP
Elemental Upgraders are skilled at harnessing Elemental power and combining it with other abilities. They are intrigued at how the world is made up of Elementals and how they can combine with each other to form other substances. This card allows the character to upgrade any form they use to be more like the Elementals they have bonded with. May use Elemental Upgrader cards. May only have one Elementalism anchor.

Submission: More Elementalism Variations
I see elementalism as a school of magic. The other magic schools draw the magic power through the energies of life: potential (WIT),
living (WIZ) and residual (SHA). Elementalism uses the basic building blocks of life - earth, air, fire and water - to draw power, focusing it through sympathetic magic. All magic comes from the same source - od. Each draws and focuses it is a different way. Astral may use the forces that hold the elements together. Ritual may use the power of repeated patterns.
Elementalist background/anchor 0/P 4cp. this person has been trained to use the basic elements of earth, air, fire and water to create sympathtic magic spells. Practitioners seek to maintain the balance between the elements to insure the health of all life. An elementalist may tell if the area is warped, wasted, pristine or normal.
Elementalist anchor 0/P 8cp
same text as above.
Elemental Master anchor 0/P 5cp
An elemental master has learned to maintain his personal balance in any area. +3 warp DEF, +3 od DEF, +3 waste DEF (numbers open for discussion)

Sink Hole, 4CP, 0/F independent. Caster pokes a hole into a handful of dirt and calls on earth to open a 6 foot deep hole directly under a target standing on earth or rock.

Earth Drain, 5CP, 0/F independent. Caster calls on earth to absorb 2D6 magic aces from target standing on earth or rock. Requires a +2 vs +0 contest roll. (or absorb 2D6+WIS magic aces, +2+WIS vs +WIS contest roll)

We have play tested several of these with great success. We have also discussed how an elementalist might create amulets containing a bit of an elementor elements and holding a spell like Dry or Bubble Shield. Breaking the amulet wold invoke the spell. After all, elementalists have to make a living too. We expect most necromancers would distain elementalism as superstitious nonsense.
living (WIZ) and residual (SHA). Elementalism uses the basic building blocks of life - earth, air, fire and water - to draw power, focusing it through sympathetic magic. All magic comes from the same source - od. Each draws and focuses it is a different way. Astral may use the forces that hold the elements together. Ritual may use the power of repeated patterns.

Submission: A different Elementalism
This was sent to me as a submission. It has good mechanics, but it turns the Elementals into just another tool. I prefer creating something with more personality, however, that may not be what the community is looking for.
These will also need serious reduction of the text to make cards of them. They appear to be about a third too long to fit in cards.
I did not take the time to reformat this for the web, if I had expended the time, they would never go up.

A called Elemental has a mental link with its summoner and will obey his commands to the best of their ability.

A character may have one Elemental in play at a time plus one additional Elemental for each 50 card points the character has attained.

More Elementalism - Submitted Ideas
I decided that since the earlier Elementalist cards are here, and not on the Beta Board, that it would be best to put them here. I find these to be appealing additions. What are everyone else's thoughts? - Mark
One of the things I think is missing is the transformation. This game is about shifters, so let’s give them a boost.
Fire Elemental Form (6)
Elementalist Ace 1/C
STR +4, DEF +2
May only have 1 form card active at any time.
Any time an opponents engages in melee with you he takes 1d6 magic damage
Add 2d6 Fire (Physical) damage to any melee attack you make
May not use any equipment well in this form.
Water Elemental Form (6)
Elementalist Ace 1/C
May only have 1 form card active at any time.
Regenerate 2D6 damage by spending a free action. May only use this ability once a turn
Spend an attack action to make a ranged attack at +10 coordination.
May not use any equipment well in this form.
Air Elemental Form (6)
Elementalist Ace 1/C
Cor +2, Spd +8
May only have 1 form card active at any time.
May take 1 extra move action or doge action per turn
Immune to ranged physical attacks
May not use any equipment well in this form.
Rock Elemental Form (6)
Elementalist Ace 1/C
STR +4, Dex -2, Spd -2, DEF +12
May only have 1 form card active at any time.
May only take 1 action per turn (either move or attack). May not doge
May pick up and throw boulders as a ranged attack using his Str. bonus

Crush (8)
Rock Elemental Ace 1/F
Can only be used well in Rock Elemental Form
Treat this ace as a standard attack, it can be dogged. +Str vs. +Dex. Success kills the target.
These are just some of my idea’s, I hope you like.
One of the things I think is missing is the transformation. This game is about shifters, so let’s give them a boost.

May only have 1 form card active at any time.
Any time an opponents engages in melee with you he takes 1d6 magic damage

The Theory of Elementals
As with any "alpha" discussion these concepts are disjointed, poorly organized and generally ready for your input. Since I slid the Beta Fire Elemental out there, as a beta card, it appears I need to start this rolling.
Elementals are fragments of the physical world that have been affected by the magics washing over the physical world. They have acquired sentience, mobility, and special abilities, courtesy of magic. This makes them self determining cast members.
I will start with their sentience. Their thought patterns are alien to the other creatures of the physical world. Few people are able to make deals with Elementals or even communicate in a sensible way. Only the Elementalist has the secret of negotiating with Elementals.
Attitude. Elementals are always annoyed at what people do to the physical world. It seems to matter little to them if it is a good, bad or any usage. They don't appear to even like you walking on the ground. They are foul tempered and easily sparked to violence. They should be classified as belligerent. It does not help any that they can be affected by the warp, acquire warp features, and become madspawn. Not good. Elementals do not appear to have problems among themselves. Elementals are immune to standard Charm and Persuasion.
Mobility. All elementals are able to move through the ground as though they were walking, but only air elementals fly, and this is a good thing. Fire elementals usually avoid water by walking under the water. Water elementals avoid fire by walking through the ground under it.
Elemental Types. Fire, water, rock and air are usual. The earth is their road and is shared in common. A number of other esoteric varieties seem to exist and the GM should create these as desired. If you want to create Sand elementals, an earth elemental as a tree, or anything else that seems like it would be fun, just do it!
Elemental Home Ground. Elementals have a place they are attached to, usually where they first came into existence. They will probably be violent when you are in what they consider their home. When they are traveling they will ignore people and, if intercepted, they may be violent. They do not recognize the rights of none elementals to have homes. If one is in their path, they walk through. More not good stuff, but at least it is not personal. Home ground is "marked" in some way so each elemental can avoid troubling each other.
Elemental Cults: In some places where an Elemental has a home near a village the locals will have created a local religion based around the Elemental. Since the relationship between the Elemental and it's worshippers is localized each GM will be setting these up and everyone will be different. Everything from Good old Human Sacrifices and everything else within the GM's imagination is possible.
Elemental Cards:
I have taken a different approach with the Elemental Cast cards. There is a basic elemental cast card and then a series of Feature cards designed for that elemental cast. By combining the Cast card with one of the Feature cards you can create an Elemental, a Greater Elemental, a Prime Elemental or an Ancient Elemental. The example is on the Elethay Prayers PDF. So go download it. The link is in the DSbeta blog, just scroll down to find the section.
Reusing the Elemental Feature Cards:
The GM gets these cards to have fun with. Therefore a GM may decide to take one of these Elemental Features and apply it to a different creature. The players will be mildly bemused to stumble across a wakana with the Ancient Elemental Feature added. This type of cast construction is designed into the game and the worlds erratic magic explains the rest. Since the GM is the highest authority in DS, this can't even be considered breaking the rules - we intended for this type of wild encounters.
Elementalists have special Elemental allure rolls to help them deal with Elementals. Greatflames get a natural ability to try to calm elementals at +1. They also gain a +1 to other Elemental rolls.
Elementalists are able to make "deals" with individual Elementals they meet. This will be represented by cards which they will have and which are permanently drained after use. Elementalists are rare, but the ability to have one show up to assist is powerful, yet expensive.
The following Elementalist Spells and Skills are, at this point, broadly defined. This is the way we use them allowing players the ability to mold their characters powers. However, we will need to tighten them up for publication. So speak up.

Draco Beasts
There are a number of native creatures scattered through out the Stormlands. This is an alpha overview of the general category that we could do as a series of Cast members for Dragon Storm, if there is enough interest. How much commentary we get here will help decide if these go forward.
The picture above is of the small Forest Draco. They are omnivores and use camouflage.
The Mountain Draco live in cliff side holes and hunt the hill sides and valleys nearby. They are Omnivores
The Spotted snow Draco lives in snow covered mountains and at the south pole beyond the Selenese Empire. These hulking predators are wingless.
The stripped cave Draco lives underground and has found even the sewers and labrynths below cities liveable. They see in the dark, but have no wings.
The Huscinble are large, lazy herbivores found in the open plains and forests of the Stormlands.
Any of these Draco beasts can become a serious problem when they become warp spawn.
We would want to add Greater and Prime features for these Draco Beasts to show the dominant versions of each.
Any thoughts? What kind of native abilities would you add to these?
