That'll get expensive. Inflict penny ante fights on the group without
letting them know the opposition is insignificant. This should use up a

Can you say exclusive complex action? I knew you could. So he can't
sustain any spells while he's calling elementals.

Also, enforce legality codes when appropriate.
