Attack/Save: Charisma Saving Throw

Description: You invoke ancient Shamanic authority over an elemental spirit.   Choose one Elemental within range.   The target must make a Charisma saving throw.   On a failed save, choose one of the following bindings.   Pacification   The Elemental cannot:   Attack you.   Attack your allies.   Target you or your allies with harmful spells or abilities.   The effect ends if you or one of your allies deliberately damages the Elemental.   Containment   The Elemental's speed becomes:   0   It cannot teleport, travel between planes, or willingly change form.   It may still attack and use abilities normally.   Compulsion   You issue one simple command when the spell takes effect, such as:   Guard this place.   Leave this chamber.   Attack that creature.   Extinguish that fire.   Break that barrier.   Remain where you are.   The command cannot require the Elemental to knowingly destroy itself.   On each of its turns, the Elemental follows the command to the best of its ability.   At the end of each of its turns, an unwilling Elemental may repeat the Charisma saving throw, ending the spell on a success.   If the Elemental is already magically summoned, bound, enslaved, or controlled by another creature, it makes its initial saving throw with:   advantage   If it fails anyway, your Elemental Binding suppresses the other control effect for the duration rather than ending it.   When this spell ends, the previous control effect resumes if it is still capable of functioning.   Elemental Binding cannot command:   Elemental Lords.   Elemental beings of comparable world-scale power.   Creatures explicitly beyond mortal Shamanic authority.
