Back when the Wheel was new, before Time and before Thought there was a boundless force of creation that filled and shaped worlds. The Prime elements raw and untamed, power incarnate lived in a violent but constant equilibrium and all was as it should be. But as time went on these Primordials eventually began to slumber, dwelling within the Umbra for their age long sleep. their raw power sometimes seeping out in the form of Elementals. Primoridals don't ever fully awaken as a new force prevents them from doing so: The Warp, being Immaterial is seen as a great poison to the Primordials. So instead they allow their power to leak into the material realm and to create a Primordial Incarnate, with the hopes of wiping all of reality of the sentient life, removing the great poison that is the warp from the wheel, and returning everything back to their equilibrium.

You may use your Level + Cataclysm(keeping Cataclysm) for focus tests made by any Spells granted by this Exaltation.
Fire--Pyromancy: You are unharmed by fire and extreme temperatures and any creature Engaged in melee combat with you must succeed on a TN 15 dexterity test at the start of their turn or be set on fire.

World Shift: You may spend X Calamity as a Full Action to convert X*2 Meters of space in a radius around you into area suitable for you, that terrain gets set on fire, becomes flooded, becomes wracked with turbulent winds, filled with earth, or gets filled with overgrowth regardless of what the terrain was previously(yes you can set the ocean on fire).
All creatures excluding yourself and any elementals you summon treat this terrain as difficult terrain, and take Xk2 E points of damage where X is your Cataclysm with one of the following properties based on your elemental Incarnation while being in the area of it's initial creation.
Fire: Incendiary
Water: Tearing
Air: Momentum
Earth: Immobilizing(TN 20)
Wood: Infest
Elemental Backlash: The Warp holds no sway over your raw power, but it's presence is poison to you. When you roll Psychic Phenomena roll the dice as Normal, but instead of checking the Psychic Phenomena Table, you and all creatures standing in your World Shifted Terrain take wounds equal to 1/10th (rounded up) of the phenomena roll.
Growing Power: As your Calamity grows so do you, but your essence is tied to this force and it bleeds from you. Increase your Size by your Cataclysm. For every 5 Calamity you have, Increase your size by 2. Whenever you take wounds from any damage except E Damage, reduce your Calamity by 1.
Power stat-- Cataclysm: Your power is measured by how much of your Prime element's raw energy you can contain, and as your power grows you become more and more volatile and dangerous to the world around you. Your power seeking to claim the world around.
Resource Stat-- Calamity: Your Calamity is equal to 5*Cataclysm. You gain 1 Calamity for every minute you spend enveloped in a source of your element or in the umbra, and 1 per round of combat spent in terrain befitting your Elemental Incarnation. Additionally you gain 1 Resource point for every act of destruction you perform(destroying a building, walls, vehicles, structures.)
Tell: Your tell behaves differently than other exalts, your tell level increases each time you gain Calamity rather than spending it. As your tell increases, your body becomes more unstable and begins erupting or surging with elemental power, eventually your form is entirely consumed by your elemental incarnation until your tell subsides.
