Often mistaken for air elementals due to their hazy, almost-imperceptible forms, a boiling spring is a humanoid water elemental made of scalding steam and bubbling water. When summoned to the Universe, a boiling spring raises the ambient temperature around them, making the surrounding climate humid and muggy. They seem to enjoy the discomfort they cause, though some regard it as merely a fun prank while others truly revel in the misery and look for ways to cause more.

Abilities
Steam Vision — The boiling spring ignores the Concealed condition from mist and steam.
Evaporate —
Sweltering Heat (aura, fire) — 25 feet. The boiling spring radiates heat, raising the air temperature around them. A creature that starts its turn in the emanation must succeed at a DC 33 Fortitude save or become Fatigued while it remains in the area; creatures immune to environmental heat effects or with any fire resistance are immune.
Freeze and Shatter — If the boiling spring is destroyed with cold damage, their body freezes over and explodes, sending out a wave of frigid air and ice shards that deal 4d6 piercing plus 4d6 cold{4d6 piercing damage plus 4d6 cold damage} to creatures in a 20-foot emanation (DC 36 Reflex save).
Scalding Breath (fire, primal) — The boiling spring breathes out a cloud of steam in a 30-foot cone that deals 14d6 fire damage to each creature in the area (DC 33 Reflex save). The boiling spring can't use Scalding Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
