This page is about the priest version of the spell. For the wizard version, see Conjure Earth Elemental (wizard).
Conjure Earth Elemental will summons forth an earth elemental and compels it to do the priest's bidding.
Description[]
| “ | Upon casting a Conjure Earth Elemental spell, the caster opens a special gate to the Elemental Plane of Earth, and an earth elemental is summoned in the vicinity of the caster. There is a 60% chance that a 12-Hit-Dice elemental appears, a 35% chance that a 16-Hit-Dice elemental appears, and a 5% chance that a 24-Hit-Dice elemental appears. All of the commands given to the elemental are done telepathically, so there is no time lost due to miscommunication, and it is not necessary to know the language of the summoned creature. Unlike Mages, priests do not have to engage in a battle of the minds to control their summoned elemental. | ” |
Gameplay[]
The caster selects a target point location on a visible portion of the area map from which the summoned elemental will be summoned/spawned. use the targeting cursor to "click"/select the point.
When the spell casting is finished, the player may give the elemental orders.
A summoned elemental may not transition with the party to different area locations (map to map) - the elemental remains on the map it was summoned to.
In the Enhanced Editions, summoned elementals are subject to and calculate into the total on-map summoning creature limit.
If the elemental is not given any commands by the player, it will act according to its basic default AI script.
When the spell's duration expires, the elemental disappears from the map.
Summoned elementals are immediately destroyed by a Death Spell or if within the area of effect of a Death Fog cloud.
