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. Planar Binding doesn't summon hostile creatures (that's what Conjure does, feel free to leave them scattered about your lair while you're not present), and it's not Concentration, so it's otherwise unchanged. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell is cast." "The spell being stored has immediate effect when cast in this way. "You can store a prepared spell of 3rd level or lower by casting it as part of creating the glyph". However, Glyph of Warding can be used to avoid the problem sir_argo noted, you load the summoning into the glyph with some condition you can trigger at will, prepare the circle in the area where the elemental will be summoned, trigger the glyph and start casting Planar Binding in the same turn.Īlternatively, 2 casters, one summons, other one binds (either one needs to use Ready action).Sorry, mate, but that's incorrect. 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. 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. 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.
