Conjure elemental

Conjure elemental was a conjuration/summoning spell that allowed a wizard to call and control either an air, earth, fire or water elemental.

The type of elemental needed to be fixed during memorization and each required a different material component and a certain amount of the respective element. The spell always carried a certain risk that the conjured elemental would break free. A protection from evil provided a defense in that case.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, and the element in question, casting this spell required a small amount of burning incense to conjure an air elemental, of soft clay for an earth elemental, of sulphur and phosphorus for a fire elemental, and water and sand for a water elemental.

History
The conjure elemental spell was first introduced in the time of Netheril, in 2131 NY (−1728 DR), under the name Tipald's conjuration, after the arcanist Tipald.

Conjure elemental was commonly known and used by the magical community by 1358 DR.
