Ok Im going to make an Earth Elemental Savant and I have a question about the energy admixture feat and the elemental specialty special ability.
Elemental Savant Earth (acid)

if i set up my feats like this

energy substitution (acid)
Energy Substitution (fire)
energy admixture (fire)

now if i use the energy admixture (fire) with a fireball would it convert all the damage to acid because of my elemental specialty (acid) from the elemental savant or would it work where i got the fire and acid damage from the fireball.
Pretty much does the elemental specialty override the energy admixture

By RAW, I believe it is so... but I'll look into the specific wording of elemental savant.

And I don't like elemental savant...

Edit: After looking at the description for the Elemental Specialty description, yes, it would all be your chosen element type of damage. And Energy Admixture, in this case, is a more expensive and specialized version of empower spell...

(More versatile, doesn't cost a feat)

Well, empower is +2 for 1.5 x damage and a feat that is a +4 for 2 x damage follows the progression... but yes, twin spell is much better.
