'''Way of the Four Elements''' is one of the [[Monk#Level%203|subclasses]] of [[Monk|monk]]. These monks are more specialized in using their {{SmallIcon|Monk_Ki_Icon.png}} Ki to channel the elements to influence the battlefield. Rather than focusing on physical techniques that the other Monk subclasses focus on, Way of the Four Elements focuses on abilities that mimic [[Wizard]] spells, turning monks into a hybrid spellcaster. Way of the Four Elements "spells" are not true [[Spells]], though they are called that in-game. They trigger [[Unarmed Strike]], can be cast while {{Cond|Silenced}} or while in [[Rage (Condition)|Rage]], do not consume [[spell slots]], and cannot be {{SAI|Counterspell|Counterspelled}}. They also do not trigger {{SAI|Mage Slayer: Attack Caster}}{{verify}}.
