Breath of the Elements

A group of planewalker priests, tired of depending on their wizard companions for spells that allowed them to breathe on the Elemental Planes, devised this considerably more useful spell. Rather than cast a specific spell for each element that inhibited breathing, they petitioned their powers for a single spell that would allow breathing on any Elemental Plane.

Breath of the elements enables the recipient to breathe freely in a single element for the duration of the spell. At the time of casting, the priest names the appropriate element — fire, salt, ash, earth, and so forth. The ability to breathe in one element doesn't grant the ability to breathe in a similar one, so a body traveling from the plane of Fire to the plane of Magma must recast the spell and "attune" it to Magma. Like water breathing, this spell transforms the element into a breathable atmosphere for the spell's recipient. Since the planes of Vacuum, Positive Energy, and Negative Energy have no such atmosphere to transform, the spell is ineffectual on those planes.

The priest can divide the base duration of the spell between multiple characters, to a minimum of one half-hour per recipient.
