Hey everyone.
I have a session I'm running tomorrow that includes an alchemist that summons elementals (forget the archetype off the top of my head). I have already had the party fight some fire elementals but I wanted something a bit more unique so I decided on magma.
I am quite attached to the lava puddle ability and I love to use little details in the game because some of my players really like to craft or otherwise accumulate interesting items, etc. I have been flipping through the various rules pages and I cannot see anything that states that the 2ish inch deep pile of cooled lava would be sent back to the elemental plane of fire/earth with the elemental that spat it up when the spell effect ends.
I would love to essentially allow my characters to have a free "block" of what I would treat as obsidian after the fight. They may not care but it could be really interesting for those interested.
I know that I can do this no matter what as gm but at this point I'm just curious to know if I am right that nothing in RAW forbids it.
Thanks all
Depends. Are you okay with the players summoning magma elementals and mining them for obsidian? Disregard if they have no way to do so, of course.
