How to damage the green air elementals?

[Faceplant]

So the first time i went through the forest/water area they weren't there. My party is level 7 and there are these green air elementals spawning in the area now.
My physical weapons do 0.
fire ball does 0, lightning does (Edit: heals them). poison does 0. cold bombs do 0.
are these things just invincible or what's up?

They make a wind rustling/blowing sound when in the area and looks like a bunch of leaves blowing around in humanoid form.

2 of them keep cornering me while trying to finish up stuff i missed in the area around the "with a keen eye and sharp aim they entered" puzzle area.

Their attacks knock me back a square which makes it particualarly difficult not to get cornered by them. very frustrating.

You can damage them with dispel. You'll need 1 Water 1 Concentration. It is shaped like the number 2.

ah, sweet. thanks a bunch.

Can you be more precise about being shaped like number 2?

[Faceplant]

it uses all of the nodes. from top left go far right, down, far left, down, then far right.

[ralindel]

got it before the explanation but thanks anyway :)

I didn't have anyone that can cast dispel, but I managed to telefrag it using the hub teleporter.

Air based attacks seem to also work and Etheral Blade damages them normaly (found in the cemetery) EDIT: Shock and Lighting Rod confirmed

Pay attention to the color of the damage values done by Shock and Lightning Bolt: they are green which means these spells heal(!) the elemental.

Hah, I have one mage with concentration, and one with water, so I cant cast dispell. But I can cast force field, which helps
