Harness Its Energy

If you have captured this elemental, you can spend the equivalent of 3 bags of gold in a magical laboratory between two adventures to bind it to your soul. If you do so, you …

  • You gain X Doom Points (roll for Catastrophe);
  • You gain 1 Spell Die and learn the spell Conjure Steam Elemental (below);
  • Roll a D6, you mutate in the following way :
    1. Your weight doubles.
    2. The ground is against you.
    3. You attract lightning.
    4. You are magnetic.
    5. You have +1 armor.
    6. You can change one word from a class ability you have or a spell you know to Earth.

If you roll a Catastrophe, the elemental is released and hostile, and you lose the Spell Dice.

Conjure Earth Elemental

R: 30’   D: [dice] x 10 minutes

You summon a 1D4 HD earth elemental. You may control it if it has [dice] HD or less with concentration, but otherwise the standard reaction roll and negotiating procedures apply.
