System: The Garou must spend a point of Willpower and roll Charisma + Occult (Cosmology or Spirit Lore may be substituted), with a difficulty equal to the local Gauntlet. For every success a single Lare is summoned; it will arrive within seconds if some sort of source material for the Elemental requested is availible. Otherwise, the caster will have to wait for a few turns. When the Gift fades (after about fifteen minutes) the Lares will no longer obey orders, but will instead stick around and try to be helpful. It is a good idea to dismiss them quickly before they become independent in this manner.
