You bind the essence of an elemental to a magical device, harnessing its power for specific purposes. Choose one of the following elemental properties: Air, Fire, Water, or Stone. The elemental essence is not a soul; it's a fragment of the elemental plane imbued with the specific elemental properties.

• Air: The device gains the power of levitation or controlled flight. It can be used to make objects or structures float, and it can power airships or windmills.
• Fire: The device emanates warmth and can produce controlled flames. It can be used for heating, lighting, or powering machinery.
• Water: The device harnesses the power of water, allowing it to propel ships, turn waterwheels, or provide a steady flow of water.
• Stone: The device gains the strength and solidity of stone. It can be used for earthworking, crushing, or providing a stable foundation.

Once bound, the elemental essence remains within the device until dispelled or the device is destroyed. The magical device functions as long as it is within a mile of the caster. The elemental essence is not sentient but acts in accordance with its elemental nature.
