Im back at the genie theme for a DIFFERENT class now. The idea is that you are one of the rare descendants, or even children, of a genie. I based this class off the Dragon bloodline, I think it needs a little more flavor but its currently balanced pretty well. I think that the elemental spell type thing could be more elegant however.
Genie Ancestry
Choose one type of genie as your ancestor. The spell types associated with this genie will be used by other class features later.
Genie Type
Damage resistance, elemental spell type*
Dao
Blunt, stone and sand themed
Djinni
Lightning, lightning and wind themed
Efreeti
Fire, fire and metal themed
Merid
Cold, water and ice themed
You can speak, read, and write primordial. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with genies, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.
Genie Resilience.
Your cultured heritage bring an innate understanding of combat. At 1st level, you gain proficiency with light armor, scimitars, and may use scimitars as an arcane focus, and your max hp increases by 1, and again whenever you take a level in this class.
Elemental Affinity
Starting at 6th level, whenever you cast a spell that fit the elemental spell type* of your genie, you add your Charisma modifier to that damage. At the same time, you can spend 1 sorcery point to get resistance to that type of damage for 1 hour.
Genie Trail
At 14th level, you gain the ability to transform your legs into a wispy trail of smoke, cloud, incense, dust, or any other genie flavored phenomena. You can create this trail as a bonus action. These last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.
You do not gain the magical effects of any items worn below the belt when you use this feature.
Genie Wishing
Beginning at 18th level, add Wish to your spell list. This doesn't count against your spells known, and the Wish has 3 guaranteed charges of the spell to use an alternate effect (not spell replication) without fail. Once you have used these 3 charges, you can only use the spell replication ability of this spell.
*elemental spell type as in, if you are a dao descended genie sorcerer, you add your Charisma modifier to things like Erupting Earth
