Summoning

You also saw Shealis cast a summoning spell. The casting is like fireball, but you must first contact and form a pact with the creatures which you will be summoning. This requires a ritual — which is in Shealis’ spellbook — but the Shahalesti spirits which she summoned would not be as friendly to you. You’ll need to figure out who you want to form a pact with, and what you will offer in return. (No, don’t try to make me think up what the creatures want in return, I have too many other tasks.)

IDEA Roll until Ready = remove 1 die each roll (plus time)

IDEA Retry Threshold Failure = Threshold + 1

IDEA Divine Spells which can interrupt

super stealth?
