Elemental
From Sagataflwiki
This article is the general rules for Summoning and Dominating Elementals, and so deals almost exclusively with what Elementals of all types have in common, only touching upon peculiarities of Elementals of specific elements when the risk of a major assumption clash is great.
Also note that this article is currently designing-while-writing, so the content is at present far from set in stone, and may change drastically, until parts or the whole of this article "hits the spot" and is seen as pleasing to the Designer's eye.

Advice
Include any and all pertinent advice here. The goal is to increase the chance of each player having fun, by giving advice helping the player to decide whether to buy the ability or not (if the article is about one or more abilities) or use the option (if the article is about something that characters can choose to do), and later on how to make use of the ability (e.g. to avoid any pitfalls that aren't extremely obvious).
Please note
Clarify, elaborate, try to predict and answer questions that are somewhat likely to be asked during character creation or during play.
Mini-FAQ
Put in sub-sections (three ='s) each containing multiple Q&As, and insert a blank line between each individual Q&A.

World impact
Talk about the effect on the world that this phenomenon would realistically have (taking into account such facts of human nature as greed, ambition and sexual impulses).
The Ärth setting
Talk about how this trait appears and functions in the Ärth historical fantasy setting.
Design Notes
Talk briefly about what the purpose of the mechanic is. Omit this section if it is extremely obvious to the target audience.
