Bind Elemental

Select an elemental within range.  The elemental must be available for the entire period required to cast the spell, which usually requires a magic circle or something similar.  Upon completion of the casting the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the elemental is reduced to tiny size and enclosed in a gemstone, a required material component of the spell.  Although the elemental may not attack or take actions, elemental effects are present with 5’ of the gemstone. The effects depend upon the type of elemental. Fire elementals will produce fire, air elementals may fly including the lifting of other objects, steam elements produce steam, etc.  These effects can be used to power engines or move vehicles. At the end of one year or if the spell is dispelled or the gemstone shattered, the elemental is released and may be hostile. The gemstone is destroyed at the end of the duration or if the spell is dispelled.
