I would say to be caareful what you use to summon the elemental with,
though. You might get some interesting results if the wood you are using
turns out to be formica, or taht little tables covered in a bit TOO much
varnish... To be on the safe side, I'd say always make sure the wood is
pure, the form isn't as important...:)

Just me opinion, don't ye know...:)
