This large container is usually
fashioned from blue or green stone of semi-precious value such as
malachite or lapis lazuli.

Sometimes iode will be used. It is about 1’ in
diameter, half that deep, and relatively fragile. When the bowl is filled
with water, fresh or salt, and certain words are spoken, an elemental of 12
hit dice will appear. The summoning words require 1 round to speak. Note
that if salt water is used, the elemental will be stronger (+2 per hit die,
maximum 8 h.p. per die, however). Control and similar information are
given under Elemental in ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS,
MONSTER MANUAL. (Cf. bowl of watery death below.)
