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.

Effects[]

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.^[4]

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 sulfur and phosphorus for a fire elemental, and water and sand for a water elemental.^[4]

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.^[1]

In the month of Eleasis, of the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR, the city of Ravens Bluff's Ministry of Art and Wizards Guild jointly declared it illegal to cast conjure elemental within city limits due to a raging unnatural storm at the time called the Soulstorm. In addition to threatening arrest for those that broke this decree, it was declared that breaking this prohibition would result in a permanent expulsion from either organization.^[12]^{[note 1]}

Conjure elemental was commonly known and used by the magical community by 1358 DR.^[13]

Notes[]

↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14^th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
