Does the savant gain any special immunities other than avoiding attacks of opportunity simply by moving through an enemy's square? The way I read it, he wouldn't literally become a sentient gust of wind, but rather would simply have a different form. And presumably his enemies can still attack him with swords and spells. But what about the people who fail their save and are caught within the whirlwind? Can they still attack him normally, while taking into account the penalties they suffer from being caught? Are they considered grappled? Can an elemental cast spells, use magical items, or do anything other than move? How about grappling, bull rush, overrun, tripping, and the like, can the elemental savant do any of these, or be affected by these? That should be it for now.
