As a bonus action, Ifrit magically summons two fire elementals. A summoned elemental appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of Ifrit and acts as an ally of its summoner.

If an Amalj’aa, efreeti, or fire elemental starts its turn within 60 feet of Ifrit it must succeed on a DC 17 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by Ifrit for 24 hours.

Ifrit is one of the primals, godlike entities given form by the desires of mortals. Dubbed the Lord of the Inferno for his affinity with the element of fire, he is the patron of the amalj’aa who call upon him for power and domination. Incarnate Flame. When Ifrit responds to the prayers of its faithful, it manifests as a crimson demon with wicked claws, scaly flesh, and eyes that glow like cinders. Despite this diabolical appearance, Ifrit is no fiend. It is raw elemental energy from the Plane of Fire, coalesced into physical form, and its mere presence desiccates the air and makes dry plants smoulder. Fuelled by Faith. As a primal, Ifrit is empowered and sustained by the faith of his worshippers. The longer he remains manifest in the Material Plane, the greater that faith grows, and the stronger he becomes. With enough time and devotion his powers could become great enough to threaten the entire world, and the fear of this happening motivates nearby kingdoms to keep a close eye on the amalj’aa. When Ifrit manifests, these nations will dispatch entire armies solely to banish the primal whence it came. |
