Why yes, we have, or at least, I have...

Ritual Magic...

Salamander would require a special type of material, perhaps say two or three
times normal cost for a fire elemental. "Base Force" wouldn't really matter,
unless you want to vary the force/attributes more of course. I wouldn't go
with anything less than a "6", just to keep the game mechanics happy. Perhaps
a "Quest of Power" to top the Ritual conjuring off with.

Man-of-the-Wood...more complex. Would require some kind of Preferential
Alignment to "Forest Environment" IMO, like the way Wolf or Bear have. Lodge
would have to be more established, say at least have been around for a year or
so. Again, target numbers would be up to the concepts of the referee in
question. Could also require some particularly peculiar rites for a Shaman
(say giving Karma to the conjuring in a manner similar to how the "Loa" are
"bought" for their services by the voudon.

but that is just a simple way of doing things...
