Foul and terrible, the creature before you has no set form. It constantly melts and reforms, apparently drawing each shape from every nightmare that has ever plagued humankind. It chaotically shifts through a dozen monstrous forms before shaping itself into a bulbous thing with ten eyes swimming in a viscous sac at the top of a body that's surrounded by a ring of smacking mouths.
Animate Elements
1st-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 minute
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S, M (burning incense for air, soft clay for earth, sulfur and phosphorus for fire, or water and sand for water)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
- Classes: Druid, Wizard
You call forth an Elemental spirit, which manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This creature uses the Animated Element stat block. When you cast this spell, choose an element: Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. The creature resembles a tiny version of a regular Elemental of the chosen type, and the type chosen determines certain traits in its stat block. The elemental is friendly to you and your companions for the duration and takes its turn immediately after you in initiative. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to the elemental, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.
While concentrating on this spell, you can use an action to dismiss the Elemental early. If your concentration is broken, the Elemental doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the elemental. When this happens, 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.

You assume the hit points of your new form. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. If you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.

To prove the strength of love over deceit, Mishakal drew the girl Mirri to the young enemy warrior Trae. They fell in love. Allied with Trae's brother Heris, the lovers set out to establish peace between their warring nations. The evil god Hiddukel, however, betrayed the lovers, imprisoning each of their spirits in one artifact from the Circle of Love. Trae is bound in the Trueheart's Warding. The armband opposes the Dagger of Vengeance in Hiddukel's Triad of Betrayal. It appears as a bronze armband etched with a hawk that bears arrows in its talons and four roses upon its breast, and it confers several benefits upon the one who wears it.
