Anyway, please tell me what you think. I'm currently working on the other elements to expand the number of options available in my game for clerics.
Air: The Element of Air is born of thoughts and dreams. It is a subtle element, yet capable of the dynamic fury of a thunderstorm when necessary. Air is ethereal, invisible and silent, easily forgotten, until one notices its absence or the winds begin to howl. The wind can be felt blowing through one’s fingers, but it cannot be grasped. This is an idea that resonates strongly with the followers of the element. The children of the sky are beings of thought and subtlety, for without thought and idea, all that remains is ignorance and death.
In its pure form, Air is the breath of life, a cool breeze providing relief from the heat of the day filling one’s lungs with life sustaining energy. It is free to wander through the sky, and those choosen by the element are often overtaken by a great wanderlust. Be it of the heart, mind, or body. The desire for freedom, born of slavery, has been known to create a strong connection with the air spirits. Thusly, liberated slaves, especially men of vision, are likely to take up the calling of Air Cleric.
But the wind can be cruel as well, especailly in the harsh deserts of Athas. Violent and capricious when roused, the wind can flay skin from flesh and scatter people and belonging into the sky. The wind is as likely to choose (or be chosen) by those with an unpredictable and violent temper, as those who strive for freedom. Often times, they are one in the same.
Because of their unpredictable nature and love of freedom, elves feel an especially close bond to the element of Air. Indeed many Elmental Singers are born of the winds, for one cannot sing without Air to fill one’s lungs. It is more than mere metaphor to say that elves ‘run like the wind’.
At it’s worst, Air is stagnent and foul, a bed of corruption wrought from broken dreams and inaction. Evil Air Clerics are known for their poisonous words and disturbing apathy at the plight of those around them. They act capricously without regard to the needs or desires of others, chasing after illusioury freedoms which may actually be enslaving themselves or others. Evil Air Clerics often come from the ranks of those who have broken under the weight of their own wills, defiently disregarding even what is in their own hearts.

The look pretty interesting, tough
I'll playtest them when my campaign starts up in about a week or so.
Cool
. Tell me how it goes as it goes so to speak :D .I don't particlurly care for the weapon/armor proficiency and skill per domain thing that has been incorporated into the Athas.org release; which is why I didn't include that information.
I'm actually in the process of reworking the entire cleric spell lists and Domains for my game because the officail version falls a little flat. Darn WoTC restrictions *shakes fist*.
