The Way of the One Element is a variant of the Way of the Four Elements that gains certain advantages by narrowing the choice of Elemental Disciplines.

Elemental Focus

At 3rd level, you must select one element to focus on; air, earth, fire, or water. You choice of Elemental Disciplines is limited depending on the element chosen. Disciplines with level minimums have a number in parenthesis after the name. Each discipline should be re-imagined to mesh with your element. If a type of damage is given in parenthesis, this replaces the type of damage the discipline inflicts. Bludgeoning damage from Elemental Disciples is magic damage.
