This is from the 2nd edition, chapter 47 - The College of Greater Summonings.

47. THE COLLEGE OF GREATER SUMMONINGS

The College of Greater Summonings is concerned exclusively with the summoning and controlling of entities from other dimensions. All such summonings and associated magical procedures are Ritual Magic. Members of the College of Greater Summonings possess no Talent or Spell Magic as a result of their association with the College. Their power lies exclusively in their ability to summon and control beings via the performance of special rituals.

All summonings of this College, regardless of the type of being they are designed to summon, are performed in the same manner. First the summoner must perform a Ritual Cleansing of his body (requiring from 1 to 10 hours). Then he must prepare and implement the proper Ritual of Summoning. The Ritual of Summoning, itself, requires only one hour to execute. Once the he has performed the Ritual of Summoning, he may wish to control the entity he has summoned by implementing either a Ritual of Binding or a Ritual of True Speaking. Binding and True Speaking Rituals each require one hour to prepare and implement. If the summoner does not implement these rituals immediately upon successfully summoning the entity who is their target, he will have to engage in a new Ritual of Cleansing before attempting to enact another ritual.

When performing the summoning rituals of this College, the summoner occupies a Circle of Protection which also contains within it a Pentacle of Power. Unless the summoner and his companions occupy the protective area, there is a chance that whatever they summon will be able to turn on them and destroy them. Only the summoner occupies the Pentacle. His companions occupy the circle, but are outside the Pentacle.

The summoned entity appears in the vicinity of the Circle of Protection, but outside it (unless the ritual backfires and the Circle is broken). In order to perform (and as part of the performance of) the Rituals of True Speaking and Binding, the summoned entity is forced into the Triangle (outside the Circle of Protection).

The Pentacle, Circle of Protection, and the Triangle must all be drawn on the ground by the summoner before the rituals are performed.

[47.1] Members of the College of Greater Summonings must meet the requirements of time, place, equipment, knowledge, and circumstance in order to perform their College's magic.

The following list of requirements must be met in all or most situations wherein the arts of the College of Greater Summonings are practiced:

1. The Adept must know the spell or ritual being employed.

2. If a summoning of an entity other than an Incubus or Succubus is being performed, the summoner must know the name of the entity being summoned and speak it during the ritual.

3. Throughout all preparations for the ritual and throughout the ritual itself, the adept must remain stationary. He may engage in no other activity.

4. The space used for the performance of the ritual must be large enough to accommodate the ritual symbols and the entity being summoned (usually, an area 30' x 30' and 12' high is adequate) and may not have been affected by an area counterspell in the last 12 hours.

5. If the magic is a Special Knowledge Ritual, it may only be performed on certain days of the month and at certain hours of the day (listed in 47.7).

6. The Adept must possess the necessary tools and equipment to perform any ritual and must have access to such substances as clear water for the cleansing which precedes each ritual.

If the Adept fails to meet any of these requirements, he may not attempt to perform any ritual of the College of Greater Summonings. He may still exercise any special Talent Magic he ay possess and may cast counterspells.

[47.2] The following numbers are added to the Base Chance of successfully performing a ritual of the College of Greater Summonings:

These modifications apply only to rituals. Counterspells are affected in the same manner so far as Mana and Rank are concerned. They are also affected by the provisions of 32. They are unaffected by other modifications.

Special Knowledge Rituals are affected differently from General Knowledge Rituals so far as the hour of the day or day of the moon in which they are performed is concerned. The affects of the hour and day on these rituals is discussed in 47.7.

[47.3] Talents

There are no Talents Magics granted a character simply because he is a member of this College. However, there is a possibility that the character may be assigned a "companion" by a demon he has summoned. Once a character has been assigned a companion, he may automatically call forth (and later dismiss) that companion. Once called forth, the companion instantly appears to do the bidding of the character. In this sense, there is some Talent Magic available to members of this College.

Upon dismissing a demon he has summoned, the summoner may request that the demon assign to him a companion from among his legions of lesser spirits. The Base Chance that a demon will grant this request is listed under the "Lesser Spirits" heading for each demon. The summoner's Player rolls D100, and if the resulting number is half or less than the Base Chance, the demon grants a companion. If the number is half or less than the Base Chance, the demon grants two companions.

A companion will be either a lesser Devil or an Imp who is constantly "on call" to the summoner. The companion is available until one of te following events occurs:

1. The summoner requests a companion from any other Demon except the Demon who granted the summoner's current companion (regardless of whether or not the request is granted).

2. The companion is dispelled by having a General Knowledge Counterspell of the College of Greater Summonings cast over him by the summoner.

3. The companion is forced into his own dimension by a reduction of his Endurance sufficient to cause unconsciousness in a character.

4. The summoner voluntarily attacks the companion or quits the College of Greater Summonings.

When a companion is granted, the summoner's player rolls D10. If the result is 1-4, his companion will be an Imp. If it is 5-10, it will be a devil. A seperate roll is made for each companion if more than one is granted.

1. Imps

Description: Imps appear as three to four foot high humanoids, but with horns, bat's wings and barbed tails. They tend to be muscular, but pot-bellied. Thier skin may be blue, green or purple, but is usually red. They have yellow eyes, flecked with silver and thier teech (including prominent incisors) are made of silver. Imps may also appear as goats , spiders, bats, or large rats, but these are insubstantial forms and the imp cannot use his powers in this plane except in his natural and substantial form.

Talents, Skills and Magic: Imps may be members of any College of Magic except the Entities as determined by th GM. Imps can only be harmed by silvered weapons or magic. Cold iron does not affect them. They have no Skills. They are Rank 5 with all magic.

Movement Rates (yards per minute):

Running: 350; Flying: 500

Weapons: Imps may make a horn attack during Close Combat with a Base Chance of 20% and possible damage of -1. Imp horns may have a Rank between 1 and 10 (controlling Player should roll D10 to determine Rank). Imps may also make an attack in either Melee or Close Combat with their long tail. Its tip contains a sting with a quick acting nerve poison (2-4 Damage Points per Pulse). The sting, itself, is treated like a dagger. Base Chance with tail is 30%. Imps may use other weapons, but may not wear armor.

Comments: Imps are dangerous servants in that they have a cruel sense of humor which they are not adverse to visiting upon their master and his friends. They may not be bound or forced to speak true, so there is no way to really control their actions. They will lie, steel, sow dissension, or play practical jokes (magical or nonmagical) on the average of once per day (total). They will not knowingly get their master killed or maimed, but are otherwise not overly considerate of his wellbeing. They will use their powers in his behalf when he demands it (though even here their sense of humor may have an effect) and will fight his enemies. Imps may be called upon as needed and then returned to their own dimension. Given their warped personalities, the wise master will keep them in their own dimension as much as possible. Imps have a 7% Base Chance of knowing past, present and future events, but will seldom speak truthfully of what they know.

2. Devils

Description: Devils appear as large muscular humanoids with massive bat wings, horns and Fangs. They tend to have carmine skin and green eyes. Thier tails are sharp and barbed and contain a poisonous sting.

Talents, Skills and Magic: Devels, like imps may be members of any College of Magic except the Entities as determined by th GM. Devils can only be harmed by silvered weapons or magic. Cold iron does not affect them. They have no Skills, but possess Rank 10 with all magic of their College. Devils know a little of the past, present and future of things (7% chance of accuracy) and will speak truthfully to the best of their knowledge in exchange for their freedom. They may not be bound or subjected to the Ritual of True Speaking.

Movement Rates (yards per minute):

Running: 400; Flying: 500

Weapons: Devils may make a horn attack or bite in Close Combat and may sting with their tail in Melee or Close Combat. Their bite has a Base Chance of 30% and does +2 damage. Their horns have a Base Chance of 25% and do +2 damage. Both are Ranked 1-10 (controlling Player should roll D10 to determine exact Rank). Their tail has a Base Chance of 30% in Melee and a Base Chance of 50% in Close Combat and does -1 damage. It has a quick acting nerve poison in it that does 3 to 5 Damage Points per Pulse. A Devils tail is always Rank 8. A Devil may use other weapons, but will not wear armor.

Comments: Devils are extremely powerful companions, but tend to serve only with reluctance. They will attempt to bargain for their freedom in exchange for the use of their magical powers in any situation that does not involve immediate danger of death or maiming to their master. They are required to assist the master only in situations of imminent danger and so will usually be able to bargain successfully early in their service. Their power to see things past, present, and future is the same as that for Imps (7%). They will never use this talent except in exchange for their release from service and return to their own plane.

[47.4] General Knowledge Spells

The College of Greater Summonings General Knowledge and Special Knowledge Counterspells are the only spells usable by members of this College. See 31 for descriptions of the nature and working of counterspells.

[47.5] General Knowledge Rituals

There are six rituals that an Adept learns upon becoming a member of this College. The first is the Ritual of Cleansing in which the Adept bathes his body and meditates as a prelude to attempting any other ritual. It is not possible to attempt any other ritual of this College unless one has first engaged in the Ritual of Cleansing. There are three summonig rituals that are part of the body of General Knowledge of this College. They are: the Ritual of summoning Succubi, the Ritual of Summoning Incubi, and the Ritual of Summoning Heroes. There are two non-summoning rituals associated with the General Knowledge of this College besides the Ritual of Cleansing. They are: the Ritual of Binding and the Ritual of True Speaking. These two rituals may only be employed after a summoning ritual has bee successfully completed. They are sometimes necessary to gain the required service of beings from other dimensions.

As part of the study of the General Knowledge of this College the Adepts receivea parcel containing the tools necessary to their magic. The parcel contains the following:

Im addition to these tools, the Adept is provided with a supply of materials which together weigh 5 pounds and which must be replenished on the average of every three months at a cost of 1000 Silver Pennies. These items include: A packet of charcoal, a packet of powdered agrimony (for making tea used in the Ritual Cleansing), a 3 ounce tin of myrrh, a vial of white frankincense dissolved in white wine, a 6 ounce pot of sandlewood and powdered antimony, a 2 ounce tin of ambergris salve, an 8 ounce box of multi-colored chalks (for drawing the Triangle, Circle, Hexagram, and Pentagram necessary for the various Rituals of Summoning).

The Adept is also taught the Generic True Names of all things that occupy dimensions other than his own and may be summoned to this dimension, and the Individual True Names of all heroes of other dimensions known to the College and of 72 great Demons of the Seventh Plane - only the names of the Demons and how to identify them. A member of this College may learn additional Individual True Names of entities from other planes by first aquiring them from a Demon and then studying the True Names in the same manner a member of the College of Naming Incantations.

The following Rituals constitute the major part of the knowledge of the Adept acquired in his general training:

1. Ritual of Cleansing (Q-1)

The Ritual of Cleansing must be performed prior to any other rituals of this College. The Adept cleans his body and purifies his mind for from 1 to 10 hours. the Base Chance of any succeeding Ritual being successful is increased by 3 for each hour spent in Ritual Cleansing. There is no Base Chance for this ritual being successful. The Adept states the number of hours he will expend on the ritualand at the end of that period of time, the Adept is cleansed. He may perform any number of rituals within three hours of the cleansing, but these rituals must immediately follow each other. Any time spent in any other activity destroys the effects of the cleansing and a new cleansing must be accomplished before another ritual can be enacted.

2. Ritual of Summoning Succubi (Q-2)

This Ritual may be used to summon one or more Succubi, who will then do the summoner's bidding without the necessity of being bound. At the beginning of the ritual, the summoner states how many Succubi he is attempting to summon. The summoner's Player then rolls D100. If the resulting number is equal to or less than the Base Chance to successfully enact the ritual, the summoner is successful and the requisite number of Succubi immediately appear. The Base Chance of successfully performing this ritual is 30%. In addition to other modifiers, the Base Chance is reduced by 10 for each Succubi above one the summoner is attempting to summon.

Succubi remain on this plane and serve for a number of days equal to D10 + 4. The die is rolled individually for each Succubus successfully summoned. The Succubi may also be forcibly returned to their own plane whenever their Endurance is reduced to the point that they are reduced to unconsciousness or a counterspell is cast over them by their summoner. Once returned to their own plane, they may not return to the aid of the summoner unless he performs another Ritual of Summoning Succubi. The Experience Multiple for this Ritual is 300.

Succubi are lesser spirits of the seventh plane. They appear always in the form of tall, beautiful women with flowing hair which hides their small horns. They also possess membranous wings shaped like bats wings that fold down so as to be all but invisible when not in use. They have retractable fangs which they sometimes use to open the veins of those individuals whose blood they desire to drink.

Succubi all possess mastership at Rank 10 of all spells and talents of the College of the Mind. They possess the following talents: Assassin, Courtesan, Spy, Thief, Troubador. All skills of Succubi are Rank 10. Succubi possess the following characteristics:

Succubi have a movement rate while running of 350 yards per minute and while flying of 400 yards per minute.

Succubi may attempt to bite during Close Combat with a Base Chance of 40%. Their bite does +2 damage to Fatigue each pulse. This drain continues so long as they continue to bite (they need not make another Strike Check). The Succubi will cease biting only when they have become stunned or unconscious or when their victim is dead. They never inflict specific Grievous Injuries, but may do Endurance damage. Their bite may be Rank 1-10 (roll D10 to determine its exact Rank). Succubi do not wear armor and carry only small weapons that are easily concealed. They prefer envenomed weapons to all others.

Succubi will, at the behest of their summoner, attempt to meet, seduce, and then murder any individual of the summoner's choice. They will pursue their victim until returned to their own plane or until they succeed in killing him. Their specialty is to gain the confidence of the victim and then murder him in his bed. They cannot be harmed except by magic or by the touch of the Book of Toth, an ancient tome of magical lore found only in older seldom frequented libraries. This rare volume immediately and permenantly dissipates them, forcing them back to their own plane.

3. Ritual of Summoning Incubi (Q-3)

This ritual operates in the same manner of Q-2 (The Ritual of Summoning Succubi). Incubi are exactly like Succubi, except that they appear only in the male form, rather than as females. They will tend to be 2-3 points stronger and have 1-2 points less Endurance than Succubi, but will otherwise be the same. They also are immune to all but magic and the Book of Toth.

4. Ritual of Summoning Hereos (Q-4)

The Adept may summon a great hero from another dimension to assist him. This hero may be any character from the body of fantasy literature known to both the Adept and the GM. The GM always sets the charateristics of the hero, his weaponry and armor, the number and type of his companions (if any), and the length of time and terms under which he will remain in the Adepts dimension and assist him. The GM may limit the use of this ritual to periods when various celestial bodies are in conjunction (once a Game-Year or so). He need not inform the Adept of any details concerning the results of the summoning until it has been performed. Example: The GM may allow the Adept to summon Conan the Barbarian, but does not tell him that Conan will appear wrapped in bandages and infirm from a recent battle.

The Base Chance that this Ritual will succeed will vary according to the hero the Adept is attempting to summon, but should usually be set less than 20%. The Experience Multiple for this Ritual is 500.

5. Ritual of True Speaking (Q-5)

Whenever any entity except a hero is summoned, the summoner may wish to ask him questions. In all cases, the veracity of the entity summoned (Incubus, Succubus, Demon) will be less than 100%. Sometimes it will be very near 100%, but in the case of a Demon who is particularly resentful that he has been summoned (or one that is a habitual liar) the chance of the entity telling the truth may be as low as 5%. The only way to be sure that the entity will tell the truth is to perform a Ritual of True Speaking and then ask the entity during the ritual for answers to the desired questions. The entity is required during the ritual to stand within a triangle and give answers to the summoner's questions. The ritual lasts for one full hour, and the summoner may do nothing else during the time the ritual is in progress except ask questions. The effects of the ritual do not extend beyond the end of the ritual. The Base Chance of forcing the entity into the triangle and successfully performing the ritual is 50%. The GM rolls D100 to determine the success of the ritual. He need not inform players of the result of the dice roll. The entity may passively resist the effects of the ritual. The Experiance Multiple of this ritual is 250.

6. Ritual of Binding (Q-6)

An Adept may perform a Ritual of Binding in order to bind an entity other than a hero to this plane. He cannot normally control a Demon that is not bound except wwhile inside the Pentacle he occupied when he summoned the Demon. Before he can leave the Pentacle or require any service except for conversation and teaching of Skills, the summoner must in most cases perform a Ritual of Binding. The Base Chance of successfully binding a particular demon is equal to falf (rounded down) of the unmodified Base Chance to summon that demon initially. The Demon may actively resist the workings of a Riual of Binding.

Once bound, a demon will remain on this plane for a number of days equal to D10 - 3 (minimum of one day) and will serve the summoner more or less willingly during that time. In some cases, special conditions must be met to bind the demon. Usually, this means the giving of presents, most often human life. If the demon resists such an offering, he will have also broken the summoning and may turn on the summoner despite the fact that the summoner is protected by the Pentacle. When this happens the summoner's player rolls D100. If the result is less than or equal to the summoner's Magic Resistance, the demon is banished to his own plane. If the result is greater than the summoner's Magic Resistance, the sumoner is overcome by the will of the demon and voluntarily breaks the circle of protection allowing the demon to enter the Pentacle and attack him.

Some demons will serve more willingly and faithfully than others. The details of which demons serve willingly and which resist service even when bound are discussed under the heading dealing with each particular demon. A summoner may control only one bound demon at a time, though he may summon other demons (or non-demonic entities) for purposes of conversation. He may voluntarily dismiss a demon at any time prior to the end of his service and the demon is immediately returned to his own dimension unless he has already broken the binding and has turned on the summoner. The Experience Multiple for this ritual is 400.

[47.4] Special Knowledge Spells

There are no Special Knowlede Spells for this College.

[47.5] Special Knowledge Rituals

There are six seperate Special Knowledge Rituals. Each is designed to summon a particular Rank of demon. There are six Ranks of demons: Duke, Prince, President, Earl, Marquis, and King. Each Rank is subject to certain limitations as to where and when it can be summoned.

All Ranks of demons are summoned in the same manner. The summoner announces the demon he is summoning and that demon's Rank. He then performs the appropriate Ritual of Summoning. At the end of the ritual (i.e. after one hour), a check is made to see if the ritual has been effective. The summoner's player rolls D100. If the result is equal to or less than the Base Chance of summoning the particular demon that is the object of the ritual, the demon is summoned and appears before the summoner. Otherwise, the demon does not appear and the summoner may not make a further attempt to summon that demon that day. He may attempt to summon another demon instead but must first repeat the Ritual of Cleansing. The description of each demon lists the Base Chance to summon that demon.

Special Knowledge Rituals may only be performed on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 of the cycle of the moon, Luna. They may be attempted on other days, but can never have any effect. There is a possibility that a character could lose track of time and attempt to employ the Special Knowledge Ritual on a day when it will not work. in such cases the GM may choose not to inform the individual that the ritual can have no effect and may allow him to perform it anyway, only telling the player why he has been unable to summon the demon at the end of the ritual.

A character who knows a particular Ritual of Summoning may summon any of the demons of that Rank. The demons of each Rank are listed and described in the section dealing with the ritual used to summon those demons. Each description includes: the demon's name; the Base Chance of summoning (and binding) him; the percentage chance that the demon will agree to grant the summoner a companion from among his legions of lesser spirits; the special Skills, Talents and magical abilities of the demon; a quantification (given as a span of possible numbers) of the demon's characteristics; the demon's natural armor (given under the heading NA as the number of hits absorbed for each Strike); the natural weapons of the demon (and any other weapons habitually carried), and any special comments on the demon's nature or abilities. Also included is a short physical description of the demon. Demons may choose to bring along one or more hellhounds when summoned.

Demons are possessed of certain qualities not listed in their descriptions. All demons exercise their Skills at Rank 15 and magic powers at Rank 20. Demons are not subject to specific Grievous Injuries. Instead, they suffer Endurance damage. They can only be harmed by magic or by silvered weapons. Being creatures of mana, they are not prevented from performing magic by the presence of cold iron. All demons automatically recover from all injury by spending one day in his own dimension. Once a demon is dismissed (returned to his own dimension), he cannot return to this plane in less than a day. A demon who has been dispelled by a counterspell or rendered unconscious, may return to this plane 9by being resummoned in a new ritual) only after one full month in his own plane (spent reforming the scattered energy pulses that make up his being).

Demons may be controlled while the summoner stands within the Pentacle which he must draw to perform the summoning ritual. They will speak to the summoner under this circumstance and will sometimes tell the truth. To ensure absolute honesty, a ritual of True Speaking must be performed. To ensure that the demon will not destroy the summoner once the ritual is over, a Ritual of Binding must be performed. A demon who is not bound must be dismissed at the end of the summoning (once the summoner is done speaking to the demon) and then will usually return to his plane. However, a demon who is particularly savage or who has been offered a gift which he rejects will attempt to devour the summoner before departing. The summoner's player must then make a checkagainst the summoner's Willpower to determine if the summoner breaks the magical circle protecting him and fights the demon or remains safely within the Pentacle (in which case, the frustrated demon departs).

Adepts are ......
