The caster can transform some material of one element into a different but related material of the same element. The transformation is permanent for air or water and lasts for one turn per level for earth.
•	The air priest can metamorphose gases and vapours in containers or the air around him into other gases (one 5 foot-cube per level).
•	Earth priests can transform stone, gems, etc., into other earthly materials. He can, for example, transform granite into obsidian. He cannot affect metal at all. He can also turn stone into dust and vice versa (1 pound per level). To make the change permanent, the earth priest must prepare a special gem, costing at least 50 gp, using the spells bless and stone shape on it.

•	The water priest is able to turn a liquid of one type into another. Water can be made poisonous, for example, or the reverse could be done (up to one gallon per level). Note that the priest must know both substances before casting the spell. A water priest, for example, cannot turn an unknown liquid into pure water; he must know what the liquid is in order to use this spell.
The material component is a small amount of the target material. If water must be turned to poison, some of the desired poison must be at hand. If a gas is to be turned into steam, a container with steam must exist. To use this spell, one must have at least minor access to the related sphere (i.e. a templar can change all elements). This spell was designed for the Dark Sun campaign world.
