Communicate with Elemental Spirit

Communicate
with Elemental Spirit'''
Community Rating: 12
Difficulty: 15
Range: voice
Duration: performance
Ritual Length: 14 (10 minutes)
Effect: speak to elemental spirits
There are five elemental spirits (other than plant
elementals, covered below) - earth, air, fire, water and metal. Elementals are temperamental
and have an intelligence slightly below that of an average human, but with a
cunning greater than that of ordinary animals. They see things from a very pure
standpoint relating to their own element.
If no elemental is visible or
otherwise obviously present, the difficulty is increased by +3. Minimal success
means that only a pidgin version of communication is possible with the spirit, average
success gives the miracle worker rudimentary understanding the spirit’s
language, good or superior results give the skill user complete
understanding of the spirit’s language, and spectacular success allows
the user to speak and understand the spirit with no penalties. The character communicates
with the spirit as part of the ritual so he may perform it and communicate at
the same time without penalty.
