Hitting an earth elemental with a stone to flesh spell currently has no interaction, which is odd. The following possibilities have been proposed:

• It turns into a flesh golem. However, stone to fleshing a stone golem already does this, and if earth elementals are loose rock compared to the specifically built body of a golem, it doesn’t make as much sense.
• It instakills the elemental and turns it into a pile of meatballs. This may be a little too cheap.
• As above, but the elemental gets the standard chance to resist.
• It cuts the elemental’s HP and max HP and drops some meatballs, but only actually kills the elemental if this would bring its HP to zero.

Wands of striking and digging tools deal double damage to all stony monsters like earth elementals, clay golems, stone golems, xorns, and gargoyles.
