Description:

This spell summons a monster or monsters up to SIZ 60 for each infused magic point. These appear within the spell's area of effect and attack the caster's opponents until either they command them to cease, the spell duration expires, or the monsters are slain. These creatures do not check morale, and they vanish when slain. If no opponent exists to fight, summoned monsters can, if the occultist can communicate with them, and if they are physically and mentally capable, perform other services for the summoner.

The maintanance cost is 10% of the combined summoned creatures SIZ in magic points per segment, rounded up. Thus a single vokuts with a SIZ of 30 would cost 3 magic points to maintain, while a flock of 150 carrion pigeons, with a combined SIZ of 150, would cost 15 magic points per segment.

The caster can summon a specific creature if they have part of that creature to use as a focus. Claws, scales, teeth, hair, or nail clippings would all work. Because creatures summoned in this way have part of their soul entangled with the enchantment, they are able to make POW checks to throw off the conjuration and return to where they were before being summoned. The POW checks are rolled once per minute (every 6 segments) with the modifications from the chart below.

Spell Duration Modifier to Victim’s POW Roll
First Full 5 Minutes -2 Roll Disadvantage
Between 5 and 10 minutes -1 Roll Disadvantage
Between 10 and 15 minutes Normal POW roll
Between 15 and 20 minutes +1 Roll Advantage
20 Minutes + +2 Roll Advantage
