### Feats

#### Elemental Essence

The Minor Arcana is infused with elemental energy, reflecting its specific elemental nature: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Frost, or Thunder. Choose or roll a d6 for its elemental nature. The elemental type determines the Minor Arcana's appearance, damage type for its Slam attack, and one of its special abilities.

* Air: The Minor Arcana is weightless and appears as a swirling vortex of wind and cloud. Its Slam attack deals bludgeoning damage, and it gains the *Evasive Maneuver* ability.
* Earth: The Minor Arcana is a rugged, rocky form with gems embedded in its body. Its Slam attack deals bludgeoning damage, and it gains the *Stoneform Resilience* ability.
* Fire: The Minor Arcana burns with intense flames, its body radiating heat. Its Slam attack deals fire damage, and it gains the *Fiery Burst* ability.
* Water: The Minor Arcana shimmers with aquatic hues and is surrounded by a misty aura. Its Slam attack deals bludgeoning damage, and it gains the *Aquatic Flow* ability.
* Frost: The Minor Arcana is covered in a layer of frost, its crystalline structure glistening with cold. Its Slam attack deals cold damage, and it gains the *Chilling Touch* ability.
* Thunder: The Minor Arcana crackles with electrical energy, emitting rumbling thunderous sounds. Its Slam attack deals thunder damage, and it gains the *Thunderous Resonance* ability.

#### Evasive Maneuver (Air Only)

As a reaction, when the Minor Arcana is targeted by a melee attack, it can use its swift agility to dodge the attack. The attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 13). On a failure, the attack misses, and the attacker's movement is halted for the rest of its turn.

#### Stoneform Resilience (Earth Only)

The Minor Arcana gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. Additionally, it can use its reaction to encase itself in stone, gaining temporary hit points equal to its current hit points. These temporary hit points last until the end of its next turn.

#### Fiery Burst (Fire Only)

When the Minor Arcana is hit by a melee attack, it can unleash a burst of flames. The attacker takes fire damage equal to half the damage it dealt with its attack.

#### Aquatic Flow (Water Only)

The Minor Arcana can move through water without impediment, and it can breathe underwater. Additionally, it can extinguish flames by touching them, using an action.

#### Chilling Touch (Frost Only)

The Minor Arcana's Slam attack deals additional cold damage equal to half the damage dealt on a hit. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 13) or have its speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.

#### Thunderous Resonance (Thunder Only)

When the Minor Arcana hits a target with its Slam attack, creatures within 10 feet of the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 13) or be deafened until the end of the Minor Arcana's next turn.

### Actions

#### Slam

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning or elemental damage (based on elemental type).

#### Rejuvenating Absorption

As a bonus action, the Minor Arcana can draw upon the elemental energy around it, regaining hit points equal to half the damage dealt by its Slam attacks since the start of its last turn.

#### Variant

The Minor Arcana's challenge rating can be adjusted by changing its hit points and abilities. For a higher challenge, increase its hit points, damage, and the potency of its special abilities. For a lower challenge, decrease its hit points and the potency of its special abilities.
