You have studied the meticulous movements and magical arts of element bending to the extent that you can channel crude but potent blasts of elemental energy through your body. When you select this feat, choose one damage type from among acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder. When you make an unarmed strike, you can choose for the strike to deal damage of that type equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Damage you deal in this way ignores resistance.
