Animate Ale

The caster targets some ale that they can see and transforms it into a Minor Ale Elemental that is under their control. The elemental will obey verbal commands given by the caster to the best of its ability. The elemental will also defend itself from hostile creatures automatically, if no other commands are given the elemental will be drawn to taverns where drink can be found in abundance.

The elemental will disperse and revert to its original state when it reaches 0 hitpoints, or when the spell's duration expires.

If your concentration is broken the elemental doesn't disappear. Instead, you lose control of the elemental, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled elemental can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

At Higher Levels: When the caster casts this spell at a 4th spell slot summon an additional Minor Ale Elemental and increase the spell's duration by one hour. When you cast this at a 5th spell slot summon two additional Minor Ale Elementals and increase the spell's duration by two hours.
