Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals

Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

This large container is usually fashioned from blue or green semiprecious stone. It is about 1 foot in diameter, half that deep, and relatively fragile (DR 3). When the bowl is filled with fresh water, 1 FP is spent, and certain words are spoken, a water elemental (worth 75% or less of your point value) appears. The summoning words require 4 seconds to speak. Only one elemental can be called at a time. A new elemental requires the bowl to be filled with new water, which cannot happen until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain). If the elemental was dismissed or dispelled, then you have to wait five minutes before you can summon one again. If the elemental was slain, then you have to wait a day before the next summoning.

See GURPS Magic, p. 191 or GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 9 – Summoners, p. 30 for statistics of water elementals.

            Statistics: Ally (Water Elemental; Built on 75%; Constantly; Conjured, +100%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Magical, -10%; Maximum Duration, 10 minutes, -40%; Requires water, -10%; Special Abilities, +50%; Takes Extra Time 2, -20%) [32]. Bowl, x0.4; 13 EP.

            TL3 Price: 2 x ($70 + 13 x $320) = $8,460.

TL8 Price: 2 x ($1,400 + 13 x $1,180) = $33,480.

Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals

Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

This device appears to be a normal container for holding burning coals.

Only one elemental can be called at a time. A new elemental requires a new fire, which cannot happen until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain). If the elemental was dismissed or dispelled, then you have to wait five minutes before you can summon one again. If the elemental was slain, then you have to wait a day before the next summoning.

Censer of Controlling Air Elementals

Censer of Controlling Air Elementals – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

This 6-inch-wide, 1-inch-high perforated golden vessel resembles a thurible found in a place of worship.

Only one elemental can be called at a time. A new elemental requires a new piece of incense, which cannot be lit until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).

Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals

Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

A stone of this nature is typically an oddly shaped bit of roughly polished rock. The possessor of such a stone need but utter a few words of summoning and spend 1 FP, and an earth elemental (worth 75% or less of your point value) comes to the summoner. The summoning words require 4 seconds to speak. You can only summon an elemental this way when standing on earth or stone. Only one elemental can be called at a time. If the elemental was dismissed or dispelled, then you have to wait five minutes before you can summon one again. If the elemental was slain, then you have to wait a day before the next summoning.
