Ceruleans are Wizards who can draw power from the forces whirling within the Cerulean Storm. Though many of their spells are destructive in nature, Ceruleans may be either Preservers or Defilers. As such, they can gather spell energy in the normal manner, or cull it from the Cerulean Storm or the smaller Tyr-storms that it produces.

Few know much about Ceruleans as they are as new to Athas as the storm they take their name from, are few in number, and are only rarely encountered.  

Both the power of the Cerulean Storm itself and its offshoots, the smaller Tyr-Storms, are useful to Cerulean Wizards. It’s important to note that Ceruleans aren’t tapping into elemental power, but into the living sparks of those connected to the storm —namely Tithian and Rajaat.  

Powers

Ceruleans alone among Athasian Wizards seem able to draw power from the Cerulean Storm, this seemingly elemental source, a path usually denied to Defilers and Preservers but open to elemental Priests.  That Ceruleans are able to use the great storm to power their spells indicates that the storm is not, in truth, simply an elemental force.

These Wizards can siphon energy from the storms and, in the case of some Tyr-storms, can even dissipate them and capture their energy for later use.

Character Class

 This strange Wizard is able to tap into the force of the Cerulean Storm to power his spells.  The Cerulean may be either a Defiler or a Preserver, but this identification has more to do with his personal ethics than with harming or preserving plant life (unless he is far from the magical storms and unwilling or unable to call it to him). Cerulean Wizards may only combine this kit with one other class.

 They may be either multiclassed or dual-classed Cerulean/Psionicists. This is due to the strange nature of the storm itself, which precludes the Wizard combining it with any Fighter, Cleric, or Thief class. Cerulean Wizards are extremely rare. Few have the ability to access the storm’s power; fewer still want to do so.

Races 

Aarakocra, Elves, Half-Elves, and Humans may all become Cerulean Wizards. Aarakocra have an affinity for high, cold places which makes them suited to the kit even though they only reluctantly use the destructive magic provided by the Cerulean Storm’s energy. The most likely candidates to become Cerulean Wizards are Humans.

Requirements

They must be able to concentrate hard enough to bring the power of the storm from a great distance away and have the stamina to withstand its powerful energies.

2nd Edition

 Cerulean Wizards must have an Intelligence score of at least 15 and a Constitution score of 12 to qualify for the kit. Cerulean Wizards must have some sort of chaotic alignment (Chaotic Good CG, Chaotic Neutral CN, or Chaotic Evil CE) in order to comprehend the changeable nature of the storm’s power.
