Gather elements should be flashier. Maybe?

Air pushes everyone away by 5/10/15/20 ft in a 5 ft burst, fort save to negate. (As yiu resist being pushed)
Earth causes the ground to be difficult terrain in a 5 ft burst
Fire deals 2 fire damage in a 5 ft emanation.
Water causes concealment for everyone within 5 ft.

At level 5 and every 5 levels after that (10/15/20) that burst or emanation increases by 5 ft.

It would be sorta similar to the kineticist blighter where when they gather energy or the elements, they deal real consequences to everything around them.


Focusing on aura effects might be limiting and is redundant with a few auras. Concealed with water gather is decent. I like the idea of a +1 status to ac for a round for earth gather. Would make the gather + raise shield on earth more useful. Air could be a 10 foot step. Fire is the odd one out. Don't know what to do with that. Small damage shield maybe.


What I've been considering is adding a Kinetic Aura effect to it- giving you and allies resistance to the damage type of the energy gathered.

Relatively future-proof and it's hilarious to have "Bludgeoning Resistance"

Specific numbers would be up in the air, but 'half level' should work for a test.
