Thanks must be given to Ondo for making a similair thread at ENWorld. It helped me find a lot of references that weren't easy to find as I was wrapping up the references for everything from the first draft. I also found a reference or two that I hadn't seen before. Thanks a lot Ondo. Additionally thanks must be given to the most awesome thalmin over at ENWorld. He has posted up multiple WotC catalogs, I'm assuming hand typed/copied. I really apprecaite it thalmin! Please post any additions or corrections that you find. Info regarding releases will be moved to a post on the second page when I recieve the product, or on release day if I am not getting the product.

Thanks for this, Ranadiel. Someone sticky this! I will try and find the missing sources, I believe the illusion/shadow power source bit was mentioned in W&M.

Hmmm I found a refernce to illusions and the shadow power source on page 46, however nothing on there being an illusionist class. I'll go ahead and add the info on the shadow power source, but I'm thinking of removing the blurb on the illusionist because I'm not even sure if that has been mentioned as being a distinct class officially.

Edit: Ok, I just updated it with info from the PHB on new power sources and also some stuff on the shadow power source from Worlds and Monsters. I also decided to include page numbers whenever refering to a book(does not apply to dragon articles though). Finally I also included a tiny bit of info on the primal power source regarding the druid's place in the power source, that I didn't feel was appropriate for the Druid entry but fits perfectly in the primal power source entry.

Edit 2: Info dump part 2!

There is also mention of dwarf elementalists in R&C.

Hmm I guess that is specific enough in context(just reread it) to warrant an entry. Oh and I also added some more stuff on FRPG from the Living Forgotten Realms document thing that was released a while ago.

It was probably when they were throwing around the idea of an elemental power course, now that said power source has been confirmed, I doubt we'll actually see a class called "Elementalist".

But who know, and thanks for adding it to the list.

Actually, I think it is meant 100% as a class name. Just look at the context.

Dwarf legends are replete with great clerics, fighters, barbarians, rangers, and other individuals of martial skill. Less common, but equally famed are powerful dwarf wizards and elementalists.

As you'll note, it refers to five different classes in this passage and continues on to elementalist. If it went "powerful dwarf arcanists and elementalists" then I would think that elementalists was simply referring to generic elemental classes, but the way it is worded it is implying that elementalist is just as much of a class wizards are.
