When this spell is cast, a creature is summoned from the elemental plane of air to serve the caster. It is humanoid in shape and approximately 10 feet high. The caster is able to order it around for 3 rounds per level he has attained (but see below). After this time, the airy assistant returns to its native plane.
The creature has low Intelligence and cannot speak. However, it can understand the verbal commands of its caster as long as these are kept fairly simple ("Attack them!" or "Guard this door!", for example). The priest can change the airy assistant's task as often as he deems necessary. These are its statistics:

Airy Assistant.

10 HD; 45 HP; AC 3.
MV 6, fl. 18 (C); THAC0 11.
Number of Attacks 1; Damage 1d10+7 (19 Strength).
Intelligence: Low (2-4).
Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
Size: L (10 feet high).
Morale: 20.
XP Value: 1500.

Its Strength score also determines its weight allowance and its chance to open doors and bend bars.
An airy assistant is not in fact under the control of the priest who summoned it - it will obey the creature that possesses the holy symbol that was used for summoning it. So if the priest's holy symbol is taken from him by someone, the control over the airy assistance for the rest of the duration passes to that person. If the holy symbol is destroyed, the airy assistant immediately returns to its own plane of existence. An airy assistant can be physically destroyed, and it can also be forced back to its home plane by a successful dispel magic, abjure or banishment. Dismiss air elemental (the reversal of conjure air elemental) also works. A protection from evil or good spell will keep the airy assistant at a distance.
The material component for this spell is the caster's holy symbol.
