Air Elemental

A spinning cyclone of razor winds that cuts through anything in its path.

The Air Elemental is barely visible -- a shimmer of distorted air and debris orbiting an unseen centre. Pebbles, leaves, and the occasional unlucky bird spiral within its vortex. It moves faster than it appears possible, and its strikes arrive with almost no warning.
