But your response is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh this morning <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />You're calling common sense "nonsense"? Yeah, I can see this conversation is a waste of time. But I'll amuse you. I have given you substantial facts as to why Horrid Wilting wouldn't work on a Fire Elemental. You've given nothing to back up your ruling except assumptions that a Fire Elemental "might" have another element to it that consists of moisture. Which as far as I'm concerned, another element added to an elemental makes it something besides a pure elemental.  Does a Fire Elemental need fuel? No, it is pure fire. Therefore, why would it consist of any moisturized substance? 1. Can the moisture be a vapor in the air? Sure, but fire evaporates moisture in the air. So there's no vapors inside fire.2. Can fire be damp? No, it would be a miracle for someone to produce a moist flame.3. Can fire have wetness caused by water? No, fire evaporates water.What happens to fire when moisture is taken away from the air or the burning object? The fire grows! So as someone said before, if anything, Horrid Wilting would benefit a Fire Elemental before it would harm it.This is all basic grade school science. Basing the spell off of common sense and what the D&D definition of how the elements work; I have a more logical answer to the question than anything you've provided. I can agree, the description of a Fire Elemental isn't clear, "A mass of flames flikering around a humanoid-shaped conflagration"...we don't know if the humanoid shape is still pure fire, or if it's like shaped lava. But even if it's lava, there's no moisture there. There's no gas because the flames don't need fuel.Horrid Wilting is meant to be used to dry up plant substances that contain water. That's why it's called "wilting". Fire rages when you remove moisture from burning wood. Instead of being so quick to call someone wrong; why don't you use some common sense and think about what you're saying. Anyway, if you want to make a Napalm Elemental, go right ahead and have Horrid Wilting harm it, it's your game.Doh, there goes your whole nonsense argument  :\</blockquote>
