Soul Power

The Dark Elementalist has a limit of three points of Burn. A number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier, she can gather souls from dead creatures with Hit Dice (HD) equal to her class level to offload one point of Burn. Bonuses from Elemental Overflow are calculated based on the number of times Soul Power has been used daily, not the current Burn points. However, she does not gain attribute bonuses or a chance to ignore critical hits from this ability.
