And air elementals would smell Downy right-out-of-the-dryer fresh.

That gives me a great idea. I'm going to summon a level one air elemental and bind it to my apartment so I'll finally be able to get it to spell pleasant and get rid of the Barrens odor. Thanks.

Fire and Chaos, perhaps you want the spells "Apartment Makeover", "Apartment Healthy Glow", and "Apartment Furnishings"?

You take a mage, invest hois hard-earned karma and his magic points into nice ally spirits that you summon into his pre-made furniture homunculus - how's that for an intelligent home?

"Have YOU ever wished your couch could move itself around? Ever wanted your furniture to have built-in people recognition and home protection features? Are you blessed with the Talent? Then don't change the channel - now YOU TO can own one of the new Home-Homunculus™!!! You never need fear burglars again; once you have summoned your ally spirits into THESE great designs they will constantly keep watch over your abode and automatically alert you to any unathorized presence in your home, or any other disturbances. And best of all, you can use the Sense Link feature to see what is going on in your own home - even if you are halfway across the world! Living has never been so easy!"
