Summon Elementary Cantrip

E/F/M:

The Effect summons one Elementary to the caster's presence. The Elementary will recognize the caster as an Elemental Scholar, and will not require any rolls to control it, for it knows that the caster can destroy it at any time while the Casting is active. It will perform one simple task for the caster, fulfill it and then depart. This command can be to fetch something, investigate something, or to attack.

Elementary

Elementaries are actually Evil nature spirits from the Material Plane that are summoned and controlled by caster, feeding vampirically on Mental fear and Spiritual terror. They are useful for their ability to invisibly pass through material or provide Information about what is around. For example, an Elementary could pass through a wall, to say what was beyond, tell a persona how thick the wall is, and what type of material it is made of.

However, they are basically untrustworthy and malign spirits, so they must be considered dangerous! Note that Elementaries may not affect any material that is enchanted or magickally formed. However, they must have a PPM or FPM to be subject to any Physical damage whatsoever, for in spirit (NPM) form they are invulnerable to such attacks.

If any human/humanoid with an M-TRAIT above that of the Elementary is very afraid, this fear will ‘feed' the S-TRAIT of the Elementary if the latter is within a 20' radius of the individual feeling fearful. Feeding at a rate of 1d3 points per person per CT of extreme fear, the Elementary temporarily adds these points to its SM CATEGORY. The gain lasts only 1 AT after feeding ceases, so the thing must act quickly. If and when this 'feeding on fear' brings the SM CATEGORY total in excess of 120, the Elementary can then create a feeling of terror, a Spiritual form of fear.

All personas within a 15-foot radius of such an Elementary must make a roll versus their SM CATEGORY at DR Hard. Each of the personae failing that roll will be subject to a vampiric draining of their S-TRAIT at the rate of 1d3 points per CT. For every 10 SD points so inflicted, the Elementary gains 1 SP CATEGORY point, accruing to SPPow and SPSpd alternately until they equal SPCap—i.e. a 20-point maximum gain.
