Lesser Planar Conjuration

Lesser Planar Conjuration

Lesser Planar Conjuration (Weavecraft)
Level: Mage 4, Blackguard 4
Mana: 65. Base Success: 60%.
  This spell -- the first hint young mages receive of the true art of conjuration -- allows a caster to summon a powerful creature with a CR of up to (6 + caster's Charisma mod) from the outer planes in order to serve her for a full day. This kind of summoning is extremely difficult -- in addition to a staggering mana cost, it requires that the caster stand next to a specially perpared summoning circle (which, fortunately, are sometimes found in dungeons already prepared by ancient mages) to conduct a two hour ritual, and it costs the caster 2 fatigue points.
   Opening the outer-planar conduit correctly requires a Knowledge (Planes) check against DC 15 -- if this check fails, the creature is unbound and arrives hostile. If the check is successful, however, the caster can proceed to negotiate terms of service with the creature by means of an opposed Diplomacy test. [ For now, if the creature wins, it just leaves -- later, the spell will have more complexity, allowing the caster to pay the creature to stay, maybe stays for a shorter term, different modifiers, etc. Creatures summoned with this spell have +200% movement until we can fix the companion AI.]
   A caster can only have one creature summoned with lesser planar conjuration at a time, though she may summon others with spells like planar conjuration or conjure earth elemental.
