Description

 * The adept boldly faces an elemental no more than 20 yards away and orders it to halt, making an Elemental Hold test against the elemental’s Mystic Defense. If successful, the elemental is held in place, unable to move or take any actions other than communicating for a number of rounds equal to the adept’s Elemental Hold rank. This talent requires the adept’s concentration—other than communication, he cannot move, cast spells, or perform any other actions. If he does, the talent ends, freeing the elemental.
 * Each round, the elemental may attempt to break free by making a Willpower test against the adept’s Elemental Hold Step. If successful, the elemental is freed and the talent’s effect ends. If the talent’s duration runs out, the adept may use it again to prolong the hold.
