Magical Abilities:

Elementals have 10SpL SP

An Elemental has the Power to produce the effect of any Elementalist Spell within its Class (or a Generalist Spell) of a Spell Level less than or equal to its Spirit Level. The Elemental must allocate 2((Spell Level)+1) Spell Points to each Spell effect it is currently producing.  But it does not use up the SP or incur IST when producing Spells, because it is using its own magical Power, rather than using the magic of another.  The number of Spell effects it can produce simultaneously is limited by its SP, and it can add SpL new ones per second.

The Maximum Throw Elementals of a given Spirit Level can produce is as follows:

X = El cannot produce Spells of that Level

No. = Maximum Throw El can produce on a Spell of that Level

Success Throw (in the left-most column) is the usual Throw required for a Spell of that Level to Succeed. For the actual Throw required for a particular Spell to Succeed, see its Spell Specification.

Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

1. Shapechange at will to forms appropriate to Class
2. Can merge with their associated Element to move unseen by lesser Beings
