NOTES:
* adrenaline doesn't speed up the production
* you can't produce more then one pillar per creature at the same time
* the pillar/tower is from the same element as the targeted one
added: * the pillar won't be created when the Cultist/Priest dies in the process

If the cultist/priest is killed before the 2 turns is up, I assume the pillar is not created.

Yes, you kill the poor guy while he is building the pillar.

Shouldn't his ability be technically called 'Rebuilding'?

Interesting idea, but what would happen if the pillars this guy targeted were completely destroyed? (say, by an Earthquake first round) What would happen if you targeted an enemy's pillar?

Love the idea. Not sure if Earth is the element that needs this as its the only element that can actually protect their pillars.  :) 
I'd love to see this as "other" element card though as it would open lots of different strategies for non-mono decks.
Also, I'd make it with 0 attack stat (though, this guy will probably be building pillars 24/7, so not attacking anyway).

I called it 'Reclaiming' because it makes unused power useful. And wouldn't 'Rebuilding' need something destroyed.
To the questions:
1) The pillar would be produced even you lost all targeted pillars because you only need the pillars to define the element.
2) The player with the Cultist gets the pillar and not the player with the targeted pillar. And you can target your opponents pillars.

The card should be affected by damage shields when it doesn't use the ability.
And I think that this card fits earth. The other thing is that making the card from the element 'Other' would destroy the balance of the card and the Traveling Cultist (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7195.0.html) can gain the ability as 'Other' creature.

You have "Recleaming" in the table an "Reclaiming" on the card? is one of these a typo?

"Recleaming" was a typo.

Wouldn't the effect while he's making the pillar be equivalent to being stuck in a time bubble for two turns? I think that would avoid some confusion, and stop people from asking dumb questions as to how the card mechanics work.

The time bubble-effect has 2 wordings in element: The first one is Turtle Shield where it directly say that the creature is stuck in a time bubble and Basilisk Blood where it has the same wording as I used for the card.
But people aren't confused from this two cards.
And I didn't read any question that didn't asked for something different and unwritten in this thread.  ;)

But I may change the wording to time bubble as it is shorter.

I changed the HP of both cards. The Cultist is 1|3 and the Priest is 1|5.
