Turn or destroy earth creatures as a good cleric turns undead. Rebuke, command, or bolster air creatures as an evil cleric rebukes undead. Use these abilities a total number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. This granted power is a supernatural ability. ...and i had a few questions. firstly, does this replace turn undead, or merely exist alongside it? also, does this mean that only good clerics may destroy earth creatures and only evil creatures may bolster air creatures, or that either alignment may freely use either form of the power? thanks in advance.

And you effect air elementals the way an evil cleric effects undead; you can make them stare in awe, force them to follow your commands, or bolster them against the effects of an Earth cleric (who can effect earth and air elementals in a simmilar way to how you do it, only in reverse). Your actual alignment doesn't have anything to do with turning elementals, because you're not chaneling positive or negative energy to acomplish this, but instead using energy drawn from the appropreit elemental plane. Hope that helps! :D
