Syntax: Animate <object>

Animate Object
This spell is the first a Druid will gain that endows the ability to summon an elemental entity of some kind. When he speaks the words to this spell, a lesser Air Elemental is summoned, and instructed to lift a certain object. The heavier the object is, the more likely that it will be beyond the elemental's power, and that it will expend all its energy in fruitlessly trying to lift it. However, if it does suceed in lifting it, the Elemental will swing it at the Druids current combat opponent a number of times, base on the casters skill in conjuring before, again, it expends its summoning energy.

Earlier versions of this spell were fiddly, doing damage based on the weight of the item, but refinements have meant that as long as the Elemental can lift it, and so long as it is over one stone, the precise weight of the object is no longer important. The object must initially be in the same room as the caster, not carried by anyone, and the Elemental will drop it back to the room before it returns whence it came.
