That..."It's an unresolved question."<br /><br />That's kinda exactly what Thaumatology and Hidden Lore is for. Does Gerrald not have the skills or did he simply not care about the answer?<br /><br /><br />In my games a "summoned" creature does have a definitive time limit on this plane (which PCs usually won't know) and will return to whence they were summoned from (unless it was this plane, then it's stuck, but Elementals are not native of the Prime in my games). If the entity can cross planar boundaries of it's own free will, it can leave anytime it wants (following standard summoning strictures).<br /><br />Conjured elementals have a definitive time limit that the PCs do know, as they are powered by the conjurer (I've altered the spells, pray I do not alter them further).evileeyorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296632217198088455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-9462599499489929382022-01-27T15:58:41.821-05:002022-01-27T15:58:41.821-05:00Under the basic GURPS Magic assumptions, aren'...Under the basic GURPS Magic assumptions, aren't elementals actually just called from nearby on the 'material plane' rather than sucked out of some extra-dimensional space (like demons are)? That means they should be permanently trapped by a pentagram, since they don't have any mechanism to travel to or from some other plane of existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-36571681983660096732022-01-26T23:48:05.257-05:002022-01-26T23:48:05.257-05:00summoned creatures stuck in pentagrams waiting for...summoned creatures stuck in pentagrams waiting for release is part of the shtick, especially if they are invisible and the petagram fails if the edges are marred in any way...Gwythainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184355400691527355noreply@blogger.com
