Ritual:Summoners Greeting

Side/Secondary Effects

Depending on the creature summoned, there will be a smell that permiates the area for a while dependant on the creature summoned. For an evil creature, there will always be a smell of sulfur. For a lawful creature, the smell of paper, for a chaotic creature, the smell of copper, similar to blood. For a good creature, it smells of ozone. These effects can stack, and can be easilly determined.

Manifestation

Easily the most noticable manifestation, a summoned, named creature appears where you indicate.

Source

Creatures summoned from this spell hold the power of the realm they were summoned from. Weither from the beastlands or from a higher power, that has been speculated upon for centuries.

Discovery

Discovered by Belia Shinescale while researching similar spells.

Material Components

The spell requires two items in order to be able to be used. Firstly, the spell requires a small bag. Inside this bag should be the name of the creature to be summoned to the spellcaster. This is to allow the magics of the world to locate this creature in the divine planes. Secondly, the caster requires a candle, in order to act as a beacon for the magic to find its way back to the summoner themselves. Without both of these, the spell will fail.

Gestures & Ritual

In order to cast the spell, the spellcaster must have a bond with the summoned creature via the Summoners Greeting. Otherwise, the ritual requires and expends magic upon waving a hand over a summoners bag while chanting verses specific to the summon itself, and placing a candle atop the bag to summon the monster in question. All of this to take place within 6 secconds.
