Arcane Weather Article

[DitheringFool]

Can anyone tell me a bit about the Arcane Weather article by Michael Mearls found in Dragon #308? I have a variant wizard with the Storm Domain from Unearthed Arcana who may be interested in this.

Thank you, thank you.

Any early risers have an idea?

Basically, is it worth purchasing the magazine for? I know it's subjective but what is the overall impression of the information? A lot of older material is kind of hit or miss (even though it's not that old) but Michael Mearls writes good stuff...

I appreciate any insights.

It contains a five-level prestige class called the Aeromancer which requires 11 wizard levels, grants two levels of spell progression, and for the other three levels gives you the ability to create areas of deadening air (all spells of a certain school or type require a spellcraft check to be cast) and magical flux (all spells of a certain school or type have a certain metamagic applied).

It's more about magical storms than the magic of storms, to be honest. If the above prestige class appeals to you, then definitely buy a copy. If not, I suspect that you will find the rest of the article of little use.
