Type: Psionic
Source: Complete Psionic
This feat allows you to acquire an elemental steward: an emberling (fire), a geodite (sonic), an arctine (cold), or a tempestan (electricity). This elemental steward acts as an envoy in place of a psicrystal. This envoy remains with you for an indefinite period of time, until dismissed or destroyed. (Elemental stewards are described in Chapter 5, starting on page 130. Complete Psionic)
Prerequisite: Knowledge (the planes) 1 rank, Psicrystal Affinity.
Benefit: When you are able to acquire a new psicrystal, you can select an elemental steward instead. The type of steward - emberling (fire), geodite (sonic), arctine (cold), or tempestan (electricity) - depends on your preference, unless you have the Privileged Energy feat, in which case the steward must match the energy type. As you advance in power, your elemental steward also increases in power; see the Elemental Stewards as Envoys sidebar.
Special: You cannot simultaneously possess both a psi-crystal and an elemental envoy.
