Title: Fire Elemental summon always fizzles
Reproduction Rate: Stopped working after a death
Blocker? N
Details: I was fighting the water elementals in Kiln Cistern and died, after that I re-summoned my fire elemental, I got the spell cast time bar but no elemental appeared. I went back into battle and was able to summon the elemental in combat. I died again but and am now completely unable to summon an elemental, it always fizzles whether I am in combat or not.

Here I am getting the cast timer:


Some time later, still no elemental:

 

Could you verify if it seems to only fizzle in that location? It's possible the pet can't find anywhere to properly spawn if it doesn't like the navmesh of being summoned over the shallow water.

 

During the log messages in the screenshot I moved around a fair bit but stayed in that room. The last time I succeeded was when I was upstairs battling the elementals, though I lost that particular battle I will head back to Kiln Cistern and try a few things.

 

We have seen similar effects in swamp scenes when players stand in the shallow pools. Will suggest trying to summon both while standing in the water vs out. Believe this is a longstanding issue.

 

Went back and checked. Fire Elemental didn't spawn on successful cast if I stood in the water, but did spawn if I stood on one of the slopes.

 

In what seems like a similar issue, it is impossible to summon an Earth Elemental in the cave where you learn the skill.
