Elemental Artificer The idea of binding an elemental to an item isn’t so strange, after all it is widely used in the creation of the Elemental Airship. However some brilliant minds have extrapolated, correctly, that a smaller elemental could be bound to a suit of armor to provide its wearer with great power. The risk however where great, the suit’s containment system isn’t bottomless which can lead to an overload, or even an elemental escape. But those who succeeded became Elemental Artificer, harnessing elemental powers through their suit. Kineticist

Some claim these individuals are genie outcasts, stripped of the bulk of their powers and forced to wander among mortals.

Fae Pact Warlock Many Warlocks appeal to the fey for their power. While the stories of children wandering into the woods and returning with terrible gifts of Mab or Oberon are largely exaggerated, even stumbling upon a dryad grove, nymph's pool, or satyr revel can be a path to tremendous magical power. Provided, that is, you can convince the fae you are worthy of their attention, and survive receiving it. Most who follow this path become simple hedge witches (in many cultures, "witch" refers almost exclusively to fae-sworn Warlocks), but the truly powerful among them find themselves drawn into the otherworldly machinations of the great courts.

Fiendish Pact Warlock When it comes to the trade of souls for power, few do more business than the fiends. Among every people of the world, there are those desperate enough for power to accept even the most terrible of prices. Contrary to popular expectation, these are not all howling madmen, or fools seduced by false promises of power. Many who offer up their souls do so with eyes open, believing their cause important enough to be worth risking everything for.

Flamesmith Fire-flavoured Thundersmith Thundersmith
Flavorless Blue Mage The Blue Mage class was obviously created with a specific campaign setting in mind, and many of its abilities reference creatures and organizations that are not defined in the given material; And because it's so ill-defined and specific, it doesn't fit the usual customization that D&D classes tend to exhibit. The class is absolute genius, using an obvious Incarnum theme with a completely unique set of rules. However, I'd like to draw inspiration from this and create my own variant, both with my own ideas and my takes on the original author's ideas, and with a more vague, malleable fluff that is closer to the Totemist/Necrocarnum in style.
