This spell summons a small creature from the Elemental Plane of Fire that devours mental energy. This being can be hurled as a missile at a psionic opponent. If a hit is scored (at a +1 bonus to hit) the psionic creature is immediately engulfed in emerald flames. A nonpsionic creature is not affected. A psionic creature loses 10 psionic points and 1 point of fire damage per round for the duration of the spell. A successful saving throw vs. spell means the psionic creature has sated the summoned creature in a single round.

The elemental creature can be struck by magical weapons of +1 or better enchantment (AC 4) and dispersed by a total of 18 points of damage.

Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
