Summon Elemental

Cost: 10+ motes
Target: Elemental

This spell is much like Demon of the First Circle and uses, generally, the same rules, with the following exceptions.

• It summons an elemental and not a demon.
• It can be cast at any time—shaping the spell is a dramatic action requiring four hours of effort, but it need not start at sunset or end at midnight.
• The roll to banish the elemental if the binding fails is difficulty 1, not difficulty 3.
• The elemental will not serve for more than a lunar month, and it cannot be set to tasks that take longer than a year and a day. This effect is still an unnatural Servitude effect, and elementals do not spend Willpower to break free of it.

The kidnap and enslavement of elementals can outrage the Celestial Bureaucracy. Characters who mistreat their servants or bind the servants of powerful gods are likely to earn the ire of the spirit world. Elementals are seen somewhat as the "poor relations" of the powerful gods of Heaven. A little mistreatment won't raise eyebrows, but callously burning out elemental servants for the sorcerer's purposes forces Heaven to act.

The Lawgiver chooses what elemental or species of elemental he summons. Certain elementals, important to the function of the world, have the right to send a proxy in answer to the sorcerer’s call rather than answering it themselves.
