I think bVisualEffect needs to be set as TRUE or FALSE.

If you want to show a specific animation when the Drow are summoned, I believe you must use a separate command to do that.

So you would create a Drow,

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, sObj, lLoc1, FALSE);

Then you would do a visual effect of your choice at that location,

AssignCommand ( GetObjectByTag(sObj), ApplyEffectAtLocation (DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_HARM), lLoc1, 3.0) );

I think that's how to do it... Lemme check to see if it works

Also, be sure that you have this script in the ActionTaken slot in your NPC's conversation. You can mess around with DelayCommand if you want the Drow to be summoned one at a time or something. Also you can use a wide variety of effects for the visual - pretty much every constant starting with VFX is valid.
