Kaenos[edit]
Kaenos are created under an amazingly unlikely circumstance, the perfect unity between the elements within a mortal form. To do this you must go through a complex ritual requiring a Knowledge (Arcana) check (With a DC of 40) to simply of heard of.
To start this ritual you must be done during a night where all the moons are out and full and have six elder elementals of each type. Then a binder has to do a complex procedure which merges one of each type into a singular form. This results in six Unity Elemental's. The Binder must then bind all of the Unity Elementals into a singular form. This will form an Elder Unity Elemental. You must then force the Elder Unity Elemental into the future-Kaenos's body. The targets body will then erupt in pure energy, and kill the target. But the Kaenos will then instantly return in its new form, pure energy.
Creating a Kaenos[edit]
"Kaenos" is an acquired template that can be added to any dragon, humanoid, monstrous humanoid, or undead creature. They have all of the base creature's statistics and special abilities except they are now of the elemental type and they gain the special abilities noted here.
