Elemental

An Elemental is a magic-based entity. Elementals are summoned from an unknown plane through magic to perform spells. They have an extremely powerful affiliation for their appropriate element.

Although they are often non-sentient and work as little more than tools, under special circumstances they may become sentient. This is typically under conditions where an extremely powerful spell is used to summon them, containing enough power to sustain them indefinitely. Elementals created in this way retain any previous memories from their days prior to sentience.

They are technically omniversal entities, lacking any dimensional affiliations and limits, although like all life in the omniverse they are limited to the seventh dimension and lower. They may breed with any other entity, resulting in elemental hybrids. These hybrids have a strong magical affiliation for the element of their ancestor.

Elementals can be extremely varied, though there are traditional elementals. These include fire, water, ice, wind, earth, and nature elementals. Though those are merely the ones with concepts native to this subset of the multiverse.

One of their most common uses is to function as effectively magical AI, as elementals can be "coded" with limits similar to many AI.
