Elemental Contract - Warlock Patron

Varoc, the deity of Matter & Element, doesn't usually make direct pacts. Instead, most warlocks form a bond with a high-ranking elemental, an age-old entity, or a powerful elemental guardian who serves Varoc. A key tenet to form such a bond is a firm belief in one of the patron's religions, either the Angshire Spirits or Varocism.   Warlocks who pledge their service to these elemental forces gain power over the primary elements, channeling their might into devastating spells and unique abilities. With the ever-present force of nature guiding their path, these warlocks are known to shape the very battlefield itself.

Elemental Attunement

At 1st level, you gain an intimate bond with a particular element, granting you specific resistances:  

Fire

The roaring flames become allies instead of threats. You gain resistance to fire damage.

Water

The chilling embrace of icy waters feels invigorating rather than threatening. You gain resistance to cold damage.

Earth

Solid stone and crushing pressures are but gentle touches to you. You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage.

Air

The striking force of thunder and lightning are sounds and sights of beauty, rather than destruction, to you. You gain resistance to lightning damage.  

Elemental Burst

At 6th level, you can unleash the raw fury of your chosen element:  

Fire

Using an action, you unleash a 15-foot cone of roaring flames. Creatures caught in the blast must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 + CHA mod fire damage.

Water

Using an action, you summon a line of razor-sharp icicles 20 feet long, shooting forward. Those hit must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 + CHA mod cold damage.

Earth

Using an action, the ground trembles, causing a localized earthquake in a 10-foot radius. Enemies must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.

Air

Using an action, a fierce gust forms at your command, turning into a 15-foot cube of electrified wind. Creatures within must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 + CHA mod lightning damage.   For all elements, the damage increases to 4d6 at 11th level and 5d6 at 16th level.  

Meld with Element

At 10th level, you can merge with the element of your choice, channeling its essence and gaining unique abilities. You can use this feature once per short rest.  

Fire

Using an action, your form blazes with an inner flame, making you a beacon of fire. For 1 minute, you gain immunity to fire damage, and any creature that makes a melee attack against you takes 1d6 fire damage from the searing heat emanating from your body.

Water

Using an action, your body becomes one with the water, turning translucent like a flowing river. For the next 10 minutes, you can breathe underwater and gain a swim speed of 60ft. Additionally, any fire or heat-based attacks against you have disadvantage as the water in your form quenches the flames. When fully submerged in water, you are rendered invisible to others.

Earth

Using an action, your skin hardens, taking on a rocky appearance and texture. For 1 minute, you become as unyielding as stone, gaining resistance to all forms of damage. While in this form, your weight increases significantly, making you immune to being forcefully moved or knocked prone.

Air

Using an action, a gust of wind surrounds you, lifting you off the ground. For the next 10 minutes, you gain a flying speed of 60ft. As you soar, airborne attackers have disadvantage on attack rolls against you, for the winds that envelop you deflect their assaults. Non-magical ranged attacks also have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.  

Elemental Ascendance

At 14th level, you can channel the full might of your elemental bond, asserting dominance over the battlefield. You can use this feature once per short rest.  

Fire

Using an action, you ignite your surroundings. For 1 minute, a 15ft radius around you is engulfed in flames. Creatures within this area at the start of their turn, or those that enter it, take 2d6 fire damage. The ground becomes scorched earth, causing it to be considered difficult terrain.

Water

Using an action, you summon a massive flood around you. For 1 minute, a torrential 20ft radius of water engulfs the area. Creatures within this area at the start of their turn, or those that enter it, must make a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the force of the currents until the begining of their next turn. Those that fail by 5 or more are also knocked prone. The area remains flooded, causing it to be considered difficult terrain.

Earth

Using an action, stone pillars erupt from the ground. Within a 30ft radius, choose targets up to your charisma modifier (minimum of one), where stone spires rise, dealing 4d8 bludgeoning damage to any creature in their path and offering three-quarter cover. Creatures must also make a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone by the sudden emergence of the pillars. The pillars are 15ft in height, and occupy a circle, 5ft in diameter.

Air

Using an action, you summon the fury of the winds, creating a raging tornado around you. A 15ft radius cyclone surrounds you, pulling in objects and creatures weighing less than 200 pounds. Creatures caught in the tornado take 4d8 slashing damage from the debris and must make a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the force of the tornado until the end of their next turn.
