Innate Spellcasting: Only air and knowledge spells. Improvisation up to 8 points, hardcore improvisation up to 63 points. Typically, a weird knows the Divination spell (GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, page 19) and the Control Elemental spell for its native element.
Air Pool: An air weird dwells within a large pool filled with billowing, gusting vapors of breathable air and mist. The pool must be at least 16 yards across and 6 yards deep. The pool is always secured to a flat surface (floor, wall, or ceiling) such that its depth forms a hollow within that surface. The surface must have sufficient depth to accommodate the pool. An elemental pool can also exist as a separate area inside a larger volume of the same element.
The base of the pool contains a portal to the weird’s native plane. Three times per day, the weird can summon elemental allies through this portal, as if casting Summon Air Elemental, but summoning a group of up to ten elementals each worth up to 25% of the weird’s point value and with no preparation.
Any nonelemental creature entering a pool without the weird’s permission must win in a Quick Contest of Will with the weird each second or be irrevocably transformed into the elemental material of the pool. Creatures granted access to the pool by the weird are not subject to transformation. However, creatures allowed to enter a pool must still provide their own protection from the elemental material, as well as the means to breathe and move within that enviroment.
A weird is physically tied to its pool and cannot leave except to return to its native plane through the portal. A weird may rise up to its height above the surface of its pool, but the lower part of its body must always remain in contact with the elemental material. Once a weird exits the pool for its native plane, the portal closes, and the pool loses its special effects. Opening the portal works identically to the Create Planar Gate spell.

Innate Spellcasting: Only earth and knowledge spells. Improvisation up to 8 points, hardcore improvisation up to 63 points. Typically, a weird knows the Divination spell (GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, page 19) and the Control Elemental spell for its native element.
Earth Pool: An earth weird dwells within a large pool filled with churning mud, rocks, and earth. The pool must be at least 16 yards across and 6 yards deep. An earth weird’s pool may be affixed only to a horizontal surface, and it may appear only in a right side up position (such as in the floor of a cavern). The surface must have sufficient depth to accommodate the pool. An elemental pool can also exist as a separate area inside a larger volume of the same element.
The base of the pool contains a portal to the weird’s native plane. Three times per day, the weird can summon elemental allies through this portal, as if casting Summon Earth Elemental, but summoning a group of up to ten elementals each worth up to 25% of the weird’s point value and with no preparation.
Any nonelemental creature entering a pool without the weird’s permission must win in a Quick Contest of Will with the weird each second or be irrevocably transformed into the elemental material of the pool. In addition, each such creature in the pool is dealt 1d crushing damage every second. Creatures granted access to the pool by the weird are not subject to transformation or damage. However, creatures allowed to enter a pool must still provide their own protection from the elemental material, as well as the means to breathe and move within that enviroment.
A weird is physically tied to its pool and cannot leave except to return to its native plane through the portal. A weird may rise up to its height above the surface of its pool, but the lower part of its body must always remain in contact with the elemental material. Once a weird exits the pool for its native plane, the portal closes, and the pool loses its special effects. Opening the portal works identically to the Create Planar Gate spell.
