You summon elementals that appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. You choose one the following options for what appears:

• One elemental of challenge rating 2 or lower
• Two elementals of challenge rating 1 or lower
• Four elementals of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
• Eight elementals of challenge rating 1/4 or lower.

An elemental summoned by this spell disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

The DM has the creatures' statistics.

At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using certain higher-level spell slots, you choose one of the summoning options above, and more creatures appear: twice as many with a 6th-level slot and three times as many with an 8th-level slot.

Chanting, you extend your hand, attributing each finger to an element. Fire on the forefinger, air on the middle, earth on the ring finger, and water on the pinky. Your thumb, symbolizing you, bows to these elemental lords. In a decisive act, you choose which fingers your thumb touches, summoning the specific elemental allies represented by the selected digits.

I Cast Summon Minor Elementals
I invoke the beings of essential realms with ease. Simple phrases, swift gestures. Yet, even youthful earth and ageless air present mysteries. I chant, aligning with each element, awaiting the manifestation of allies from the pure realms—earth, air, fire, and water.
