Elemental Domain (5e Subclass)
Elemental Domain[edit]
Cleric Subclass
Clerics of the Elemental Domain wield the raw forces of nature, channeling the primal fury of the elements in service of their faith. Whether devoted to gods of storms, fire, or destruction, these clerics bend fire, ice, lightning, and earth to their will, striking down foes with the chaotic might of the natural world.
Blessed with an affinity for elemental magic, these clerics adapt their spells to fit any situation, shifting their destructive energies at will. As they grow in power, their mastery over the elements becomes overwhelming, allowing them to unleash devastating storms of raw magical force that break through enemy defenses and reduce the battlefield to ruins.

| 1st | absorb elements, chromatic orb |
