Conjuring Spirits in the Sixth World

"Conjuring spirits is the art of calling upon various forces found within astral space to come to your aid. You accomplish this through force of will and personality. This ability is broken into three categories summoning, banishing and binding"
So say those boring egg head professors at school. I much prefer to say that you are ringing up a mate to come play with you. Nor do I call them spirits. That sounds so formal and schoolish. I call them my friends.
There I was, that is Christianne, though I do not follow my name sake, standing in queue at the lovely Tesco Express in Norwich when this ugly nasty giant wasp insect spirit appeared inside the shop. Everyone screamed. But I was somehow not myself as She who is Spider came to me and taught me how to fight such horror. I moved with what witnesses described as an uncanny grace and banished the bug back to whence it came.
Soon after the local constabulary came around and arrested me. Those bastards.
It was determined that I had done no wrong, yet for "public safety" reasons and whatnot I was sent off to Her Majesty's School of Magic, fortunately nearby in the Broads. It was felt that the toxic background would hinder any latent abilities and make the likelihood of an arcane accident less likely. They also wanted to get rid of another waif living on the streets. I suppose that it was nice to have a proper bed and hot meals.
Every magi developes a tradition, largely based on personality and self expression of force of will. For whatever reason your tradition, I call it marks you, with five of the ten general types of spirit friends that you can call upon.
The five I was able to call were those with the power of binding. She who is Spider guided me, for these spirits are not unlike her with a binding web to trap enemies and prey in. While happy with my five, I still wanted more. Nothing should be outside the influence of She who is Spider. Her web encompasses all.
There are rituals and advanced powers one can learn, that allows you to call upon additional spirit friends. Spider always guides me to my heart's desires. I trust her.
The first time was at a party. Everyone pushing to know what each other could do. Mostly the other students demonstrated practical spell casting. Silly tricks really. If only they would have left me alone in my corner with my drink. I grew tired of the proding and sat in the center of the room upon the floor. I called upon a shadow, a succubus. A spirit friend of pure sexual desire and lust. Almost everyone fell silent and I became very very popular with most of the boys.
Off to the headmaster I had to go in the morning.
The headmaster was not displeased as I thought he might be. He wanted me to demonstrate what I had done again. Out to the main yard we went. He waited patiently, but not to bore him I did something he was unexpecting. No succubus for him but rather the hunt.
Peering through the wards and barriers that kept the toxic spirits out of the school grounds I noticed one of them. It was creeping about. Therefore I called upon the hunt and He and his hounds appeard. The headmaster fell back in shock. The Huntsman is very quiet never saying a word, merely nodding. I gave his five hounds a huge hug. Looking at the headmaster I told him that these are my friends, Anthrax, Diphtheria, Ebola, Typhus and Rabies. Then I pointed at the toxic spirit and off the Huntsman and hounds went to destroy it. Along with anyother toxic spirit they might find.
The next day representatives from Her Majesty's Ministry of Magic arrived to examine me yet again. They were quite impressed with what and all I could do. Having demonstrated advanced metamagics well beyond what my age and studies would imply I had knowledge of.
I have knowledge of rituals to call on non-traditional spirits, demonstrated possessing the ability to call upon great form spirits, and advanced knowledge of the so called Universal Magic Theory in being able to call friends from outside my tradition. These fools do not understand that She who is Spider knows everything, for, everything touches her web and is part of her.
I as asked to concentrate on my dancing. I did not expect that, but, followed through. Dance is not unlike a spider skipping over it's web. After exams and licensing I took a position with the National Ballet. Practical special effects, through both the powers of my friends and spells. Though I still danced with raw physical abilities. I am very good. Some say as talented as the eminent Gelsey Kirkland. If they only knew I speak with her ghost from time to time.
She who is Spider then guided me to the shadows, were I fell in with a motley crew of malcontents. I enjoy earning in a night what I might in several months at the ballet. Though it is a pain to constantly explain my power to them. If they would just leave me in peace with my AB+ cola for vampires.

Manifestation

A spirit manifests in a form that represents the psychological nature of the summoner. Alternatively a spirit might appear as any form that is appropriate to the background or environment it is in when called upon. The summoners force of will plays a part in this.
The spirit might appear as a supercar to a car enthusiast, or as a broken wreak if in a junkyard.

Localization

A spirit appears within astral space near the summoner. The summoner can ask it to manifest into the physical world and  render a service, or go off on a remote service either alone or with someone it is tasked to obey.
