Elemental divinity?

And that's great. I know the Elemental Savant class from Complete Arcane does this for arcane casters, but where is the divine one?

 

Not sure actually.

I've got a character who takes the Contemplative prestige class though so their domains are the four cardinal elements, so she literally is a priestess of the elements.

If this is anything to go by it's in Faiths and Pantheons for the Forgotten Realms, which I use a fair bit, just not for prestige classes.

There's also elemental warrior in a planescape supplement.

 

That character of yours would be an elemental turning / rebuking DYNAMO! But there's no transformational element in that class. I don't have Faiths and Pantheons, so if anyone who does could enlighten me that'd be great.

 

Elemental Archon

Every level except 3, 6 and 9 the Elemental Archon gains the spells available as if they had gained a level in their previous spellcasting class, but no other benefits other than spell progression.

I always found the sycophantic fawning of the mephits quite hilarious in concept. Can you imagine having a band of mephit cheerleaders shouting like crazy how cool and awesome the Master is, how s/he will beat that puny great wyrm dracolich to pulp, or how they all chorus behind you so you can get that +1 to your perform check ?
