Psionic Enchantments (PSC)

In the Dark Sun setting, the Dragon Kings rule stark monolithic cities that dot a barren landscape. Their magical arts have embraced and incorporated psionics in a way unduplicated elsewhere. Priests of Athas have two paths: that of the cleric-psionicist and that of the elemental. Those choosing the second path eventually gain psionic enchantments of their own. The priest taking this path will ulti­mately abandon human form and transform into an elemental being. A prerequisite to begin the advancement to elemental form is achievement of 20th level. While priests may also take the path of the cleric-psionicist, only elementals can cast psionic enchantments.
A cleric who would become an elemental con­tinues to age normally until achieving 30th level. At this point, permanent elemental form is achieved and the further passage of time has no effect on the caster. Those on the elemental path from 21st to 29th level can assume elemental form for a limited time, depending on their experience level.
Psionic enchantments are magic, with psionics acting as a catalyst in the process. In the Dark Sun setting, the elemental spells can be of 8th, 9th, or 10th level. This appendix is included for DMs who wish to introduce similar Elemental encounters into other settings. Some of the mate­rial has been updated since its original appear­ance.
Unlike other spells, the psionic enchantments of Athas require special preparations before the actual casting. Also, in the following spell descriptions, “cp” stands for ceramic pieces, the equivalent of a gold piece on metal-poor Athas.
