Instead, you lose control of the elemental, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. If your concentration is broken, the elemental doesn't disappear. Normally spells end when the concentration required is broken and Conjure Elemental is a concentration spell, however, Conjure Elemental has a clause that specifically overrides the general rule for concentration spells ending: Case 2) The spell is still active, it ends, and the elemental disappears:
The clause about concentration does not apply, the elemental exists as the effect of an active spell, if the magic is dispelled the elemental goes. In both cases, the elemental disappears Case 1) The spell ends and the elemental disappears:
CONJURE ELEMENTAL 5E OPTIONS FREE
I also believe the RAI of this spell is that if you have your concentration broken the elemental becomes a free agent not bound by the summoning magic in any way, and thus it is always dangerous undertaking, where you can't even dispel your own magic. If you have your concentration broken the spell ends, as per the concentration rules which are not overridden by any specific rule in the spell, but the effect of the spell ending is overridden by the fact that the elemental does not disappear along with the spell in this specific case.
Willingly ending your concentration on a spell in D&D isn't the same thing as having your concentration broken. He also had this to say about concentration in general: This is him saying that if you deliberately end your concentration the spell ends and the Elemental disappears. When you willingly stop concentrating on a concentration spell, the spell ends.Ĭonjure Elemental: "The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends." Jeremy Crawford had this to say about concentration with respect to conjure elemental: It can't be dispelled any more than the environmental effects of a delayed blast fireball (PHB p.231) can be dispelled following loss of concentration. Therefore while the elemental persists for an hour after the spell ends, it is no longer part of an active spell effect so there is nothing to dispel, the elemental became free of the summoning spell when concentration was lost.Īnother way of looking at it is after the spell ends due to loss of concentration, the elemental exists as an environmental change rather than a spell effect. If you lose concentration, such a spell ends. Some spells require you to maintain concentration in order to keep their magic active. The spell has already ended as concentration has been broken and Conjure Elemental is a concentration spell. The clause about concentration does not apply, the elemental exists as the effect of an active spell, if the magic is dispelled the elemental goes.Ĭase 2) There is no spell to dispel, the elemental is unaffected: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 5th.Case 1) The spell ends and the elemental disappears: Sample elementals can be found below.Īt Higher Levels. An uncontrolled elemental can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. Instead, you lose control of the elemental, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. If you don't issue any commands to the elemental, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). Roll initiative for the elemental, which has its own turns. The elemental is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. For example, a fire elemental emerges from a bonfire, and an earth elemental rises up from the ground. An elemental of challenge rating 5 or lower appropriate to the area you chose appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of it. Choose an area of air, earth, fire, or water that fills a 10-foot cube within range. Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse
