Through the research of some enterprising mages hybrid Elementals
have been developed for use by hermetic mages. What these elementals gain
in flexibility they loose in effectiveness. Elementalist Adepts can not
conjure any of these spirits.
Smoke Elementals
Appearance: A Smoke elemental appears as a vaguely humanoid shaped
spirit with inconsistent featues made entirely of dense smoke.
Powers: Confusion (When target is within Force meters of elemental
and in smoke), Engulf (Victim must resist [essence+2]S stun using willpower
or body, whichever is greater. The +2 power mod is eliminated if victim is
wearing breathing gear. Refer to Air Engulf for further info.), Guard,
Manifestation, Noxious Breath
Weaknesses: A Smoke Elemental may be confined by airtight seals in
containers of remarkably small size; Vulnerability (Mud), take only 1/2
damage from Earth or Water.
Aid Sorcery: These Elementals can act as auxilliary Magic Pool
with a rating of Force/2 for Combat or Detection spells.

p.142 SR2 rulebook.
Fog Elementals

definite shape floating in the air.

I thought something along thee lines might add a little spice
to the game. Yeah, it smacks of D&D, but what doesn't? Throw them in if
