Elemental
Elementals are quickly summoned in numbers, but unlike minions, is maintained by and drains some of the Summoner's power. The Elemental will be unsummoned if the Summoner runs out of power to support it. The Summoner can maintain several Elementals at once; actually it could be argued that one is supposed to. A Summoner geared for this business could according to Flagship Studios' last word on this maintain about a dozen of Elementals at once!

Minions
Minions are in some ways more "advanced" than Elementals, but instead less quickly cast. Each minion besides the Reaper come with two support skills, giving the Summoner an ability to deepen the occult research and empower the various demons. Like Elementals, minions are summoned out of thin air. Summoners can control multiple demons, but these limits may change in time for the game's release.
