Scroll of Elemental Infinity Pathfinder Woundrous Item
Scroll of Elemental Infinity
Wondrous Item (scroll)
Aura strong transmutation; CL 20th; Slot -; Price - ; Weight 0.5 lbs.
This ancient and intricately inscribed scroll, a relic shrouded in mystic energies, embodies the boundless power of the elements. Its very parchment seems to pulse with elemental vitality. The scroll's origins are as mysterious as the depths of the cosmos; its creation is credited to the elemental gods themselves, whose divine hands etched its sacred words onto the vellum.
The elemental energies it can modify are fundamental forces of creation: fire, cold, lightning, and acid. Each stroke of the gods' divine quills is a testament to the raw, untamed might of these elements. The depictions on the scroll come alive, the flames dance, the frost sparkles, the lightning crackles, and the acid hisses, as if the very essence of the elements has been captured and bound within the parchment.
Yet, amidst the awe-inspiring imagery, a poignant message is inscribed, a farewell penned by the elemental gods themselves.
"To the Mortals of the Material Plane,
In the twilight of our connection to your realm, we leave you this gift, the Scroll of Elemental Infinity. Within its pages, the dance of fire, cold, lightning, and acid is chronicled—a tribute to the forces that shaped your world. As our presence wanes, know that the elements endure, their power undying.
May this scroll be a bridge between our worlds, a conduit through which you may harness the very essence of creation. We bid you farewell, not with sorrow, but with hope. For in your hands, we entrust the legacy of elemental mastery. May it guide you, nurture you, and empower you in the face of challenges.
With the turning of the cosmic wheel, our connection weakens. Remember us in the whispers of the wind, the crackle of flames, the chill of winter, and the sizzle of acid rain. We are woven into the fabric of your world, and though we fade from direct sight, our essence remains.
Godspeed, mortal souls. May the elements guide you, and may your path be illuminated by the eternal glow of elemental infinity.
With everlasting reverence,
The Elemental Gods"
Their words echo through the ages, a solemn adieu to the material plane they once touched. They knew that their connection to this world was fading, and in their wisdom, they left behind this scroll, a final gift to mortals who dared to tread the path of elemental mastery.
Elemental Item Transmutation: On a ritual that takes one hour, once per day per item, the Scroll of Elemental Infinity can permanently alter an item that deals elemental damage, changing the damage type to another elemental type. Alternatively, it can change the elemental type of a creature summoned by an item.
Elemental Spell Transmutation: As a standard action a spell caster can use the scroll to change the elemental type of one spell she can cast for the rest of the day. This power can be used once per day per willing creature.
Elemental Invulnerability: The scroll holds the power to grant unparalleled immunity. Once per day per creature, as a full round action, the user can become immune to a single elemental energy, rendering them impervious to its effects for 8 hours. This effect can only be used once per creature per day.
Elemental Adaptation: Similarly, as a standard action three times per day, the scroll can modify a willing creature's elemental immunity or resistance, changing it for another element type. This effect lasts for 8 hours.
Elemental Suppression: As a standard action, the scroll can suppress an enemy's immunity or resistance to an element. The target must make a DC 27 Will saving throw to resist this effect. A target that saves its saving throw is immune to this power for 24 hours.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Aurumvision (Ex) The Aurummorpher can perceive anything made of gold as with blindsense.
Aurum Retribution (Su) The Aurummorpher's body is a conduit of golden energy. Any creature that hits the Aurummorpher with a melee attack takes 2d6 points of damage as shards of sharp, magical gold burst from the point of impact. This damage is not reduced by Damage Reduction. This ability does not trigger on touch attacks or effects that do not deal physical damage.
Golden Empowerment Aura (Su) The Aurummorpher radiates an aura of golden energy in a 60-foot radius. Other creatures made of gold within this aura are continuously empowered, gaining a +2 enhancement bonus to their attack rolls, AC, and all saving throws. This aura is always active, and the bonuses do not stack with each other if multiple Aurummorphers are present.
Gold Glide (Ex) A burrowing Aurummorpher can pass through gold or almost any other sort of precious metal as easily as a fish swims through water. If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through molten gold. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. A move metal spell cast on an area containing a burrowing Aurummorpher flings the creature back 30 feet, stunning it for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.
Gold Golem (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, the Aurummorpher can shape a significant amount of gold into a golem-like servant. This creature can follow simple commands and fight on behalf of the Aurummorpher.
Golden Flow (Su) The Aurummorpher can command any non-magical gold in a 30-foot radius to move as though it were liquid. This can be used to create difficult terrain, disarm opponents, or even create a wall or barrier of flowing gold.
Molten Gold (Su) As a standard action, the Aurummorpher can cause any non-magical gold object within 60 feet to heat up and turn into molten gold. This includes gold coins, jewelry, and similar small items. If a creature is wearing, carrying, or holding the affected object, it takes 10d6 fire damage (Reflex half, DC = 10 + 1/2 the Aurummorpher's HD + its Charisma modifier)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Immunity to Magic (Ex)
A gold golem has immunity to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
A magical attack that deals electricity damage slows a gold golem (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw.
A magical attack that deals fire damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for each 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A gold golem gets no saving throw against fire effects.
Auric Radiance (Su)
Once every 1d4 rounds, the gold golem can unleash a burst of light from its body. Every creature within a 30-foot radius must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or take 8d6 points of damage and be blinded for 1 round. A successful save halves the damage and negates the blinding effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Aurumvision (Ex): The Aurumancer can percive anything made of gold as with blindsense.
Transmute Rock to Gold (Sp): The Aurumancer can change a small section of rock (5-foot cube) into pure gold once per day. This gold can turn back to rock with dispell magic.
Golden Shield (Su): As a swift action the Aurumancer can turn its own gold into a shield to absorb one attack or spell.
Aurum Beam (Sp): The Aurumancer can fire a concentrated beam of magical energy that turns whatever it hits into gold, dealing damage and potentially immobilizing an opponent. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. (Fortitude DC 27 to avoid petrification).
Gilded Grasp (Su): The Aurumancer can cause golden chains to spring from the ground and restrain all targets the Auramancer can percive. The Aurumancer spends a part of its innate magical energy to suppress the target's freedom of movement and magical bonuses to Escape Artist or on checks to escape a grapple. This ability also duplicates the effect of dimensional anchor. The chains have the ghost touch special property, and an incorporeal creature that they grapple gains the grappled condition (Reflex negates, DC 20). The CMD of Gilded Grasp, for the purposes of escaping the grapple, is equal to 10 + its CMB. Gilded Grasp is a swift action and lasts until the beginning of the Aurumancer's next turn.
Golden Resurrection (Sp): Once per week, the Aurumancer can resurrect a fallen ally as a gold-skinned servant with a portion of its abilities.

Do Editions Matter in Tabletop Roleplaying Games?
Introduction:
Do editions matter in tabletop roleplaying games? I believe that while compatible rule systems can allow for easy cross-play and conversions between different games, there are still reasons why specific editions may be important. Let's explore some of the factors that can make certain editions more appealing to players.
The Joy of Complexity and Balance:
Some players love the complexity and balance found in specific game editions. These players enjoy the challenge of mastering a particular system and may feel more invested in the game as a result. When it comes to choosing a role-playing game and it's edition, the intricacies of the rule system or lack of it can be a significant factor for these players.
Purpose and Flavor:
Different game editions can be designed with a specific purpose or flavor in mind, which can influence a player's preference. For example, one edition might emphasize exploration and mystery, while another focuses on combat and tactical decision-making. These unique flavors can make certain editions more appealing to players, depending on their interests and play-style.
The Language of Rule Systems:
Complex rule systems are like a language. Players may expect to play a specific game edition when joining a public game at a convention for example. For many gamers, being fluent in the "language" of a particular edition can be a point of pride and a way to connect with other players who share the same passion.
Fun for the Group:
Ultimately, what is fun for the group should be the priority when choosing a tabletop role-playing game edition to play. After all, the primary goal of any role-playing game is to have a blast with friends and fellow gamers. While edition preferences may vary, the most important thing is to find a game that everyone can enjoy together.
Conclusion:
While it's true that compatible rule systems can allow for cross-play and conversions between different games, there are several reasons why editions can matter in tabletop role-playing games. From complexity and balance to purpose and flavor, various factors can make specific editions more appealing to players. In the end, though, it's all about having fun and creating memorable experiences with your gaming group.

AI generated new "Ancient Wonders" ChatGPT and Midjourney
I asked Chat GPT to give me descriptions of imaginary "Ancient Wonders" and then used those descriptions to make these images on MidJourney:
The "Tower of the Four Winds" was a massive tower that reached high into the sky. At the top of the tower was a crystal dome that was said to channel the power of the four winds, allowing the priests who lived there to predict the weather and control the winds.
