Elementalist
Elementalists are warriors who train in a specific type of magic that involves the manipulation of the elements around them. They know their way around most weapons unlike many monks and focus on a much more specific type of magic unlike eldritch knights who use more general wizard spells.
Elementalists can take the roll of either a front-line combatant as well as the crowd-controller. Not only that, but elementalists are also known for their freedom in abilities. Elementalists utilize special abilities that are unique to the element in which they have affinity to. Whether it's firing arrows made of concentrated water or being able to breathe out fire like a dragon, elementalists utilize their special elements to whatever suits them.

spellcasting:
Elementalists are intelligence spellcasters. They gain a special form of spellcasting at level 2. Instead of choosing which spells to add into their repertoire, they are given spells that relate to their chosen element. As they level up, they will gain more and more spells to cast. Elementalists are able to select additional cantrips along with their granted cantrips from their subclass. Select from the wizard's cantrip list. If a spell has a material component, elementalists can use a component pouch instead of physically providing the material.
