You imbue yourself with the elemental power of genies. You gain the following benefits until the spell ends:

Elemental Immunity. When you cast this spell, choose one of the following damage types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder. You have Resistance to the chosen damage type.

Elemental Pulse. When you cast this spell and at the start of each of your subsequent turns, you release a burst of elemental energy in a 15-foot Emanation originating from yourself. Each creature of your choice in that area makes a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage (your choice) and has the Prone condition. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.

Flight. You gain a Fly Speed of 30 feet and can hover.

Casting as a Circle Spell. If the spell is cast as a Circle spell, its casting time increases to 1 minute, and its duration increases to Concentration, up to 10 minutes. For each secondary caster who participates in the casting, you can choose one additional creature, to a maximum of nine additional creatures. The chosen creatures also gain the benefits of the spell for its duration.

When the spell is cast, each secondary caster must expend a level 2+ spell slot; otherwise, the spell fails.

Spells similar to Songal's Elemental Suffusion

  • Spirit Guardians 3rd-level conjuration

    Both create a persistent emanation centered on the caster that repeatedly damages multiple creatures and shapes the battlefield while the caster concentrates.

  • Moonbeam 2nd-level evocation

    Each deals recurring damage based on creatures being in an area on later turns and enforces positioning, like the target spell's turn-start pulses and prone control.

  • Cloudkill 5th-level conjuration

    Cloudkill is a level-5 persistent area effect that forces movement and punishes enemies over multiple turns, matching the target spell's ongoing, battlefield-control damage at comparable power.

  • Wall of Fire 4th-level evocation

    Wall of Fire creates a lingering damaging area that controls where enemies can safely move, echoing the target spell's focus on area denial and repeated elemental damage.

  • Dragon's Breath 2nd-level transmutation

    Both let you pick an elemental damage type to use and grant a temporary offensive effect to a creature (including yourself), making them mechanically similar in elemental flexibility and short-term combat use.
