Good way to "fake" Marid or Djinn Style as a Flowing Monk?

[Mikaze]

The problem: Flowing Monks can't get Marid or Djinn Styles until level 13 or so, and that's when most APs are getting close to wrapping up. If you wanted to have the flavor of those styles for your monk for even half of their career, you're out of luck.

So barring houseruling alternate prerequisites for the Style feats, what would be the best way for a DEX/WIS-focused monk to emulate the flavor of those styles so that he can use wind, ice, or water in his martial arts without having it come from some sort of magic gear? What would be the best way for the monk to be able to manifest that flavor either from within or harnessing it from without through their own power and discipline?

And in case it matters, the alignment and race would be locked in as LG human(Vudrani or Bonuwat if that makes any difference).

Take levels in magus and use arcane pool to add elemental damage?

um well if you pick up dragon style at third lev and dragon ferosity at 5 lev from ultimate combat then pick up elemental fist 7lev and the pick up your djin or or the other styles on a side note if you go this way you HAVE to pick a element fire lighting cold or acid the choice is locked untell you meet its normil requirements But as a added bonus you use the elemental fist EXACTLY as a monk of the four winds advanced players guide appart from the elemental restriction effectivly you can use elemental fist 1/per day per monk level and its dmg increases every 5 lev 2d6 at 5 3d6 at 10 4 d6 at 15 and so on

umm sry bit wordy and it does eat all your feats but read dragon style and dragon ferosity there fffn awesome and totally worth picking up ,and its shaves 4 levs of you build

please respond via email or here id like to hear your thoughts thanks have a nice day i doo have alot of other good ideas that you might like

Sadly you can't do this with a Flowing Monk. Redirection replaces Stunning Fist which is a prerequisite for Dragon Ferocity.

Dip into unarmed fighter.
