Sundry questions about how things work

[Pickles]

1) there are 6 sizes of elemental in the game
a) I cannot find which spells summon which size - I think normal is size 4 and lesser size 2 & nothing summons size 6 except earth attack & that is only earth (duh!)
b) how do they shrink? - do they reincarnate as the next size down when they suffer "total HP loss" or someting else

2 Do spell & other effects impact on missile weapons as well as melee ones specifically:-
a) fire 9 blessing
b) Weapons of sharpness

3 Just how does dispel work.
a) Does it compare ritual cost plus extras to dispel cost (30) plus extras or does it just compare extras?
b)Is there a random element?

4 If a weapon says damage 5x10 vs hoburgs does that mean 50 vs hoburgs or that the total damage including strength is multiplied by 10

5 I ritual of returning my Ice devil & he was paralysed - will this wear off? He is 163% heroically fast so I hope so.



Thanks
