With this spell, a priest can freely summon a lesser elemental from his own elemental sphere. The lesser elemental will do anything within its power to aid the caster. A priest cannot summon an elemental from an opposing sphere (that is, a water priest cannot summon a fire elemental). Only clerics and druids can cast this spell; templars cannot conjure lesser elementals.
Once cast, there is a 50% chance for one to three 2 Hit Die elementals to appear; a 25% chance for one or two 4 Hit Die elementals; and a 25% chance that one 6 Hit Die elemental will appear. The lesser elemental can be sent back by the caster, one at a time or all at once, at any time. It automatically returns to its home plane when the spell ends.
Conjured lesser elementals must be controlled by the priest; otherwise, it will simply assume a defensive posture until it returns to its plane. Lesser elemental won't attack the priest when uncontrolled. Lesser elementals can be controlled up to 30 yards away per level of the caster. Lesser water elementals are destroyed if they are ever more than 30 yards from a large body of water.
This spell requires a handful of material representative of the elemental being's home plane:
Lesser Air Elemental: Breath of the caster
Lesser Earth Elemental: Dirt, dust, or other earth
Lesser Fire Elemental: Any burning object
Lesser Water Elemental: Liquid, water, sweat, spit, and so on.
Notes: Common for clerics and druids, barred to templars from the Dark Sun setting.
