Elementals are the physical manifestations of the primary elements. They do not normally exist on this plane, but are summoned by members of the Elemental Colleges. They will always be hostile to their summoner, and will attempt to kill them if they are released from their control. Elementals are impervious to attacks made with non-magical weapons. Magic does affect them. Each is vulnerable to its opposite element and can be damaged by attacks involving that opposite. Water and fire are opposite members, as are earth and air. An elemental's Endurance, Fatigue, and Strength vary according to its summoner's Rank with the summoning magic. Endurance and Fatigue vary as described in §42.7, while an elemental's Physical Strength equals a base number for each of the Elementals plus five for each Rank the summoner has attained in the summoning magic.
There is a current proposal to change Elementals.
