In the write-up, it states that Elemental Immunity allows the caster to breathe under water, right? What would be the 'appropriate' way to do that? Obviously, the elementalist isn't going to be growing gills nor is he going to alter his form. So would it be safe to say that Elemental Immunity essentially casts a 'bubble' that negates a specific element? So, to breathe under water, the elementalist basically makes a field with air that repels water.
This doesn't guarantee underwater breathing or anything of that nature. It was, allegedly, supposed to be used when walking into water or like fast-river currents or what have you so you couldn't get pushed down. Or if you were holding onto ice or whatever.
Citation: Aderyn's specific alteration of a new spell for underwater breathing enchanted on a bracelet I approved as a moderator way back in 2004 for Elle Lothain. Go looks it up!

And ditch Elemental Shock or Grasp (ooh the redundancy!) for a spell called Breath which conjures air inside one's mouth so you can always breathe. (Immunity would still be useful if you want to say dive to the ocean depths with all that crushing pressure...)
That wold be a good way to do it, but also rather tricksy if you were to mess it up. My other PC has a spell similar to that where it vacuums out the air in people's mouths or creates a vacuum in front of their lips to shut them up. Since sound can't travel across vacuums or whatnot.

*ponders*

Next time you guys are debating Elementalism someone should poke me!
