Manipulate Elements[edit]
Starting at level 1, your natural focus allows you to manipulate the elements around you.
- Mental Magic
Your magic is different from that of other spellcasters in that you draw your magic from your mental strength, not your mana, and you use the world around you as your weapon if choice. All spells are granted by your Natural Focus and are always prepared.
- Stamina Slots
Your spell slots are known as "Stamina Slots" they show how much mental energy you have and the strength of that energy. Your Stamina Slots regenerate on a short rest. You can see the power and amount of slots you have on the table.
- Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your bender spells, since their power derives from the strength of their mental fortitude. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast when making an attack roll with one. You do not require spellcasting components in order to cast natural focus spells.
Spell Save DC = 8 + Your Proficiency Bonus + Your Wisdom Modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = Your Proficiency Bonus + Your Wisdom Modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You use your mind and one free hand as a spellcasting focus. If a spell was casted using a hand, an object cannot picked up into that hand or any concentration spell immediately dissipates and any lingering effect ends.
Natural Focus[edit]
At the 1st level, you chose a Focus. Choose between Earth, Fire, Water, Air. Your choice grants you features at the 1st level and again at the 6th, 10th, and 14th
Mental Refocus[edit]
Starting at the 2nd level, once per day, you may meditate for 10 minutes and refocus your mind, allowing for you to refill your expended spell slots. After 10 minutes you will have regained all of your used spell slots. Using this feature requires concentration, and if concentration is broken then you do not regain any slots. This resets at the dawn the next day.
Fighting Style[edit]
Starting at level 2, your training of your mind and body has paid off and you gain a fighting style of your choosing.
- Blind Fighting.
You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
- Defense.
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- Dueling.
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Interception.
When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.
- Thrown Weapon Fighting.
You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. • In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.
- Unarmed Fighting.
Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.

Elemental Ground[edit]
At the 7th level, as a bonus action, you can pick a point within 60 feet. A 20 foot radius around that point becomes magical difficult terrain. This terrain acts as normal difficult terrain (reducing anyone's movement speed who traverses through it by half) and deals 1d6 slashing damage to any who end their turn inside of this area. You have no difficulties navigating this as if it was any other terrain and you and your allies do not take the damage at the end of your turn. You can use this feature once per long rest.
