range of existence would actually be detrimental. Consequently
there are no spells on the Elemental Empowerment
spell list dealing with these creatures.
2.Also according to Creatures & Monsters, Weak and
Strong Elementals have “NO” (“animal instincts”) IQ.
If imbedded into a Construct or Golem, the creation
magic of the entity itself increases their IQ to Low (3-
12, roll D10+2). Elemental Guardians have Above
Average intelligence (50-77, roll 3D10 + 47). Elemental
Savants have Exceptional IQ (100-102, roll D3 +
99).
3.In terms of pure level, Strong Elementals are normally
level 20, whereas Elemental Guardians are only level
15. Yet, it is harder to summon the latter using Elemental
Empowerment. The rationale is simple – Guardians
with their higher intelligence are much more useful to
golem and construct creators than the stupider, if
more physically potent, Strong Elementals.
Using Elemental Empowerment with Fire &
Ice: The Elemental Companion
If the GM does use Fire & Ice: The Elemental Companion,
then the spells on the Elemental Empowerment spell
list have different effects to take into account the elemental
metaphysics explored in that work and the changes
made to existing Elementals as well as the new beings
introduced.
1.Most importantly, Elementals conjured by this list
onto this plane are summoned rather than gated to the
material plane. This means that there is no risk of
elemental corruption as the being’s true body remains
on the elemental plane.
2.The Elemental Powers activated by the Manifest Element
spells represent the supernatural abilities of the
imbedded Elementals given limited potency on this
plane. The advantage is that this control prevents the
entity’s body suffering elemental corruption; the disadvantage
is that the powers are randomly activated
rather than deliberately chosen by the caster or the
Elemental because much of the spell’s potency is used
to prevent elemental contamination.
3.The Elementals as described in Fire & Ice have a greater
variety of IQ levels, giving the creator increased freedom
of choice and reducing the need to utilize the Sentience
spell list. The mapping of Elementals to mental prowess
(Memory and Reasoning stats) is as follows.
Minor Elementals (Servants): Very Low (1-5, roll D10
and divide by two).
Lesser Elementals (Weak Elementals): Low (3-12, roll
D10 +2).
Elemental Giants: Little (7-25, roll 2D10 +5).
Elemental Guardians: Above Average (50-77, roll 3D10
+ 47).
Greater Elementals (Strong Elementals): Inferior (13-
40, roll 3D10+10).
Superior Elementals: Mediocre (23-50, roll 3D10+20).
High Elementals: Average (35-65, roll 3D10, if 15 or less
subtract from 50, if 16 or more, add to 35).
Elemental Savants: Exceptional (100-102, roll D3 + 99).
CONSTRUCT COMPANION
4.There are more elemental beings and creatures in Fire &
Ice than possessors of this list may summon and imbed.
This is deliberate – this is a spell list designed to procure
suitable elemental spirits to inhabit artificial entities, not
to ally the caster with the full diversity of the elemental
hosts.
5.The alert will notice that Elemental Guardians require
stronger summoning, controlling, imbedding, and banishing
than Elemental Giants or Greater Elementals.
This is due again to their higher IQ rating compared to
equivalent or even slightly more powerful entities in
terms of strict level.
In a setting where Elemental magic is practiced, GMs
may wish to consider the interplay between Elementalist
and non-Elementalist practitioners. True Elementalists
may be jealous, even violently hostile, to this knowledge
being available to mere Magicians and other Essence spell
users, let alone those of other realms of power. They may
seek to reserve these arcana for the sole use of their own
adherents.
7.2.4 DEMONIC EMPOWERMENT
Perhaps the most potent and dangerous of all guiding
spirits for artificial entities are Demons. Casters, who are
brave or foolhardy enough to seek such power, will require
access to the Demonic Empowerment spell list, which has
spells dealing with the summoning, banishment, control,
and imbedding of Demons from Types I through to VI.
Demonic Empowerment can be used to summon and
imbed Demons of the Pale, certain Demons of the Void
(specifically the Elf-Demons, the Man-Demons, the Noble
Gogonaur, and the Raukamar), and Demons from the
other demonic planes, as detailed in Creatures & Monsters.
Demons from Beyond the Pale are too powerful to be
summoned, let alone imbedded by this spell list, as are the
Moloch Demons of Might (Type VI+ Demon) and the
Demon Lords, Maleskari, Sith, and Yrrigav. The Agothu
and Agothu Servants are not Typed – their natures are so
alien and contradictory that no mortal sorcerer has yet
found the means of summoning even the least of them into
the world.
Other extra-planar entities exist, notably Champions,
Djinn, and Chaos Demons. However, none of them are
appropriate targets for imbedding via Demonic Empowerment,
and the Summon Demon spells on this list will not
call any of them to this plane.
Champions are too dedicated to the service of their deity
to be persuaded to undergo potentially indefinite imbedding,
and no true follower of a “good” or “lawfully” aligned
deity would dream of forcing a Champion against its will.
(Anyone who isn’t a true follower and somehow manages to
summon a Champion is likely to find himself or herself on
the receiving end of divine justice from the Champion …)
Djinn (also known as Genii) are Nature or Household
Spirits, who are already trapped in objects or locations in
this world. While it is conceivable that a freed Djinn could
be imprisoned by chance (or just possibly imbedding) in
an artificial entity, it would be released from this focus as
soon as it completed its quest. For lesser Djinn, even
following one order from the entity’s master could be
77
