I was thinking of making these spells for an upcoming deity, but decided it was not terribly useful, so I figured I’d just post them. These spells should all be very rare, and should only available to priests or religious orders who have one of these elements as a part of their faith. They are based off of the 6th-level Conjure Fire Elemental spell, rather than the 7th-level Conjure Earth Elemental.

Very nice stuff! The “elemental parallelism” is often seen as burdensome when it comes to the myriad quasi- and paraelementals, but nevertheless it’s there, and these spells deserve to be written.
Thanks for taking the time to do so and post them!
Thanks! The biggest challenge was find some of the alternate creatures to summon, especially for Vacuum, which has no mephits.
Nice spells, Jeff! Don’t you think they could be also part of the basic elemental scholls (air, earth, fire and water) more closely related to them?
Optional wizard schools aren’t listed with priest spells. With elemental spells, one can usually get a good idea what they’d align with from the spheres they’re in.
After I posted my comment I remembered they are priest and not wizard spells, you are right.
Another question: don’t you think that the lightning comjuration should, when calling a shocker, have the same chance of calling a sojourner or a contended one, as per the description of the creture in the Planescape Compendium III?
The rule reason would be because it summons creatures in a given power range. The in-world reason would be because the spell is drawn to those that *want* to leave, even if it isn’t permanent.
