Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Gaia's Blade.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: None gained.

Gaia's Blessing (Su): You gain the benefits of the Battle Blessing feat, except that it applies to any spells with the earth descriptor of 4th level and lower. This allows you to cast these spells as a swift action.

Earth Strike (Ex): You gain the ability to make an especially vicious strike a number of times a day, adding your constitution modifier to attack and your Blade class level to damage. These bonuses apply to one attack, and can be used with any single melee attack. You gain one daily use at 1st level, and an additional use at each odd level.

Stone Armaments (Ex): Whenever you make an Earth Strike, you may create a weapon of stone to use. This may be any simple or martial weapon, and upon gaining this ability, you may choose one exotic weapon this may create. You are treated proficient with the weapon you create, and it gains an enhancement bonus equal to half your Blade level. The weapon persists for 1 minute after making the Earth Strike, then crumbles to dust.

Energy Substitution (Earth) (Su): You gain the Energy Substitution feat, allowing you to substitute energy damage for physical damage in a spell and add the Earth descriptor. This bypasses most resistances, but is subject to DR/-.

Earthbound Channeling (Su): Whenever you make an Earth Strike, you may channel a single spell with the Earth descriptor and a range of touch, adding that spell's effects to the attack.

Gaia's Grasp (Su): You can make Earth Strikes from a distance, creating your blade of stone from a nearby surface. When using this ability, you make a single melee attack from up to 30 feet away, using up an Earth Strike use and gaining Earth Strike bonuses.

Energy Admixture (Earth) (Su): You gain the Energy Admixture feat, allowing you to add physical damage to energy damage in a spell and add the Earth descriptor. This bypasses most resistances, but is subject to DR/-.

Gaia's Fury (Su): When you make an Earth Strike as part of a full attack, you may channel a single spell with the Earth descriptor and a range of touch, adding that spell's effects to each attack in the full attack. Only slam attacks and attacks made with the weapon created via Earth Strike gain the spell's effects. Alternatively, you may apply Earth Strike's effects to each attack in the full attack.

+2 Constitution (Ex): You gain a permanent, untyped +2 bonus to your Constitution score.

Elemental Apotheosis: At 10th level, a Blade joins the earth and become an Elemental. You no longer need to eat, sleep, or breathe (though you must still rest to regain spells), and gain an elemental creature’s immunity to stunning, critical hits and flanking. You also gain the speed and movement modes, natural attacks, special attacks, and special qualities of a Medium Earth Elemental. Unlike a normal elemental, you retain a soul separate from your body, allowing you to be raised from the dead as normal for a creature of your previous type.
