Elemental Gate
(Conjuration)

Range:  50 feet
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  1 hour
Area of Effect:  One square foot per level
Saving Throw:  None

This spell creates a small gate from an elemental plane. It allows the free passage of objects and creatures from the elemental plane to the prime material only, and not the other way around. If the gate is free standing, it will only last for 2 turns + 1 round per level of the wizard. It may be supported, though, by an ornate frame that will make it last exactly as long as the frame itself.

	Element	Frame Type
	Air	Silver
	Fire	Brass
	Water	Gold or Gilt

Also needed as a material component of the type of material the wizard wants the gate to open into. For instance, if the wizard wants salt water to spew out of the gate, he needs to cast the water version with a sample of saltwater. This works similarly with the other planes - air of the appropriate freshness, temperature, etc. must exist as a sample.
The most common uses of this spell are listed below:

	Element	Spell Effect
	Air	May be used to ventilate rooms, provide breathable air, and maintain average temperatures.
	Fire	Often used to heat places in cold climates or serve as the heart of a forge.
	Water	Usually created to provide large quantities of fresh, drinkable water.

If the supporting frame is magicked with a protection from evil or good, 10-foot radius or similar spell, the vast majority of elemental creatures that might stumble across the gate will be unable to pass through.
