Elemental Gem 5e
Wondrous Item, uncommon
This gem contains a mote of elemental energy. When you use an action to break the gem, an elemental is summoned as if you had cast the Conjure Elemental spell, and the gem's magic is lost. The type of gem determines the elemental summoned by the spell.
Elemental Gem
| Gem | Summoned Elemental |
|---|---|

| Yellow Diamond | Earth Elemental |
| Red Corundum | Fire Elemental |
| Emerald | Water Elemental |

I’m a sucker for a special consumable, and Elemental Gem certainly fits the bill. You get a 5th-level spell bundled in a tiny little gem package.
There are four gem types you can get; sapphires, diamonds, corundum, or emeralds, each of which summons one of the four primary elementals in place of having your DM determine what’s summoned.
When a magic item casts a spell like this there are a few rules to keep in mind.
It’s always cast at its lowest possible level
It doesn’t require any components
You still are casting the spell, and still have to maintain concentration on it
Unlike a Spell Scroll, anyone can use an Elemental Gem!
Breaking concentration on a Conjure Elemental can be disastrous, potentially causing the summoned elemental to go rogue and attack you and your friends!
