Dismiss Elementals- Beefing up Magic Users

Ever feel like your magic-users aren't very magical? Experimented with spell variations in the past but never found something you like? How about a new Special Ability?

Dismiss Elementals

Under this variant Magic-Users gain the ability to dismiss elementals and their closely related kin through use of arcane lore that is not embodied by spells. To dismiss an elemental a M-U must remain stationary and within 240 of a visible elemental for two rounds. If the M-U is unharmed during these two rounds a roll to dismiss the elemental may be made at the end of the second round. This ability may be used against one type of elemental at 2nd level or greater. A second type of elemental may be dismissed when the MU reaches 7th level and a third type may be dismissed when the M-U is 11th level (an 8th level M-U could, by example, dimiss Earh and Fire Elementals but be unable to Dismiss Air or Water Elementals and when that M-U reaches 11th level they could choose to select one of the later to Dismiss) . A dismissed elemental is banished from the material plane and sent to it's plane of origin. One may not dismiss an elemental (or elemental kin) on it's home plane.
