>Test it on yourself>Test it on a friend [Muffins? Hershy? Zith-Zi?]>Go to the Archmage and her assistants, and request a test subject of another sort>Go to Izirina, who knows more of the Elemental Planes than you do, and get her input>Go to Pearce, who knows your moral compunctions around animal experimentation, and ask him what you should do>take your last dose of shirin, and hope for a breakthrough-inspiring vision>Write-in[You also learned ONE bonus spell. You can choose pretty much elemental spell (except Chain Lightning, Scorching Ray, or Wind Wall, which require a base spell to build on, or Sand-swimming, which is an Ashurati specialty) discussed in this or the last thread as well, but you can also select from the below options]
>Fireball>Lightning Bolt>Gust of Wind[You know what these do]
>Summon Elemental II[Allows you to summon and control a more powerful elemental, or a more ‘complex’ one made of multiple elements, like Lighting, Mud, or Ice]
>Banish>Protection from Heat & Cold>Write-in [as always, within reason]
