Nature Essence Formula
E/F/M:
A Nature Essence is basically a type of Mundane spirit that is neutral in temperament. and will faithfully provide some form of minor service or information according to Its element and limited ability. Note that the spirit will not remain to serve beyond about one BT per STEEP point of the medium. nor will it be able to go beyond the Distance range noted to perform its service. The Nature Spirit summoned will not engage in combat on behalf of the practitioner in any event unless an Elementary (q.v.) is accidently brought forth, and in that case twill attack the medium and any associates, not their foes. This type of creature is relatively uncommon, for most Nature Spirits are usually uncooperative, if not downright hostile and belligerent The practitioner should still observe caution, for spirits of this sort have tittle sense of responsibility, and often exhibit indifference and even impish deceitfulness towards those who call upon them. They do, however react favorably to music and those with pure intentions. Nature Essences conform to the four basic elements of Air, fire, Water and Erth. Mediums can choose to summon a particular type of nature Essence, if they have has some Materia or Totem linked to a specific Element Other-wise, the type will be random. Note that while a Special Failure of this Casting Indicates that the persona has summoned a hostile Elementary, a Special Success may well bring forth one of the four great beings of this type: Pavana, Lord of Air, Kshiti, Lott of Stone: Agni. Lord of fire: or Varuna. Lord of Water. These greater spirits might not be pleased to be called up thus, but that depends on circumstances. Time and Distance for these Lords is not a factor, albeit they will be likely to stay only a little while.
