 *Try not to let yourself get surrounded by earth elementals. Each elemental can deal up to 40 damage per hit, so 8 elementals can deal lots of damage. Plus, since they are immune to various elements, monsters can fire [[Lightning Bolt]]s, [[Stunning Burst]]s, [[Fireball]]s, and other elemental spells through them.

You can summon them by using [[Qazlal]]'s Elemental Force (when used on clouds of sparse dust or calcifying dust).
