Elemental forms opinion/thought..

And the same goes for savants from sorcerer!

It'd be *really* nice to have an alternative version of each with a different spell effect.. being a permanent swirling mass totally kills pretty much all cosmetic incentives.

My cosmetic top hat shows up just fine, but my cosmetic armor does not.

Casting some other effects after taking elemental form will obscure the elemental look. Camouflage and Stoneskin apply their own leafy/rocky looks, but both of those also can obscure cosmetics.
