![]() If you need guardian, you're better off with using the glyph to just summon the elemental when the conditions are met. What would be worse then useless in most cases, because it would give you an creature you don't control (the "controller" is a non-sentient glyph, not you), and that won't just disappear after a hour. And I would add that JC insinuated as such in his response to the question. In the case of the OP's question, it means that the Conjure spell would expire just before he completes the Planar Binding because the Conjure spell does not provide a specific rule to override the general. If a spell says it lasts 1 round, that is exactly 6 seconds (general rule) unless the spell's description says otherwise (specific rule). This is an example of where the specific rule takes precedence over the general. While in your example, Blade Ward says "until the end of your next turn", that does not mean all spells of 1 round last through until the end of your next turn. Shield is 1 round, but says, "until the start of your next turn". Command has a duration of 1 round, but states in the text "follow the command on it's next turn", so technically the spell is over after that creature's turn. Booming Blade has a duration of 1 round, but states in the text "until the start of your next turn". Many spells listed as "1 round" include additional language to specify how long the spell really lasts. RAW, it lasts just long enough.This is incorrect. But if it succeeds, then it is bound at the end of that round, so it does not disappear. ![]() If you failed to cast Planar Binding, and you were counting in combat time, the elemental would disappear at the end of the 600th round. Planar Binding takes one hour (600 actions) to cast. In the rules on concentration (PH, 203), willingly ending your concentration is purposefully not on the list of things that can break your concentration.Precedent: Blade Ward lasts one round (six seconds), and lasts "until the end of your next turn." You get to take your next action (next round) before Blade Ward ends.Īpplication: Conjure Elemental lasts one hour, which would be 600 rounds in combat time. Willingly ending your concentration on a spell in D&D isn't the same thing as having your concentration broken. This is supported by a relevant unofficial tweet by lead rules designer Jeremy Crawford: Casting another spell that requires concentration.The following factors can break concentration: Note that this does not count as your concentration being broken the rules further say: You can end concentration at any time (no action required). If you lose concentration, such a spell ends. Some spells require you to maintain concentration in order to keep their magic active. So ending a concentration spell is done by dropping concentration: You can’t normally dismiss a spell that you cast unless (a) its description says you can or (b) it requires concentration and you decide to end your concentration on it. This is also mentioned in the Sage Advice Compendium ("Can a spellcaster dismiss a spell after casting it?", p. So intentionally ending the spell would dismiss the elemental. ![]() ![]() If your concentration is broken, the elemental doesn't disappear. The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The conjure elemental spell description says (emphasis mine): Intentionally end the spell by dropping concentration ![]()
