Warrior of The Elements (Dynamic Rework)

## Warrior of The Elements
You are the still center of the turning wheel. You can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the elements to your will.

### Elemental Stance (3rd)
At the start of your turn, you can imbue yourself with elemental energy that you have learned for this feature (see "Known Stances" below). Each Elemental Stance grants you specific benefits as listed under each element’s Elemental Stance below. Each Elemental Stance lasts until you are incapacitated, you choose to end it, or until you use Elemental Stance again as a Bonus Action on your turn.

**Number of Uses.** You may enter your Elemental Stance once at 3rd level, twice at 11th, and without limited uses at 20th. You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. Additionally, you can spend 1 Focus Point to regain a use of this feature.

**Known Stances.** You know a number of Elemental Stances equal to your Proficiency Bonus. Whenever you finish a Longer Rest, you can replace one of your known stances with another eligible stance.

You unlock new features of each Elemental Stance when you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class.

#### Casting Elemental Spells
Elemental stances allow you to cast spells. See the Spellcasting section for the general rules of spellcasting. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you can do so without verbal or material components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for spells granted by this subclass.

Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend additional Focus Points to increase the level of an elemental stance spell that you cast, provided that the spell has an enhanced effect at a higher level, as Thunderwave does. The spell's level increases by 1 for each additional Focus Point you spend. For example, if you are a 5th-level monk and use Thunderous Slap to cast Thunderwave, you can spend 3 Focus Points to cast it as a 2nd-level spell.

The maximum number of Focus Points you can spend to cast a spell in this way (including its base Focus Points cost and any additional Focus Points you spend to increase its level) is determined by your monk level, as shown in the Spells and Focus Points table below:

| Monk Levels  | Maximum Focus Points |
|:------------:|:--------------------:|
|  5th-8th	   | 3                    |
|  9th-12th	   | 4                    |
|  13th-16th   | 5                    |
|  17th-20th   | 6                    |

### Elemental Attunement (3rd)
You know the *Elementalism* spell, which you can cast without verbal components.
