When a priest casts Conjure Earth Elemental, he summons forth an earth elemental and compels it to do his bidding.
In-game description
| “ | Conjure Earth Elemental Upon casting a Conjure Earth Elemental spell, the caster opens a special gate to the Elemental Plane of Earth and an earth elemental is summoned in the vicinity of the caster.There is a 60% chance that a 12-Hit Dice elemental appears, a 35% chance that a 16-Hit Dice greater elemental appears, and a 5% chance that a 24-Hit Dice elder elemental appears. The elemental will do the bidding of the caster until it is slain or the duration of the spell runs out. All of the commands given to the elemental are done telepathically, so there is no time lost due to miscommunication and no need to know the language of the summoned creature. Unlike wizards, priests do not have to engage in a battle of the minds to control their summoned elemental. |
