Description This rite calls a supernatural creature from the Demonic Plane (per Discern Nature of Demon) of a specified type, such as an elemental, an imp or a familiar. The level of the rite is equal to the magic points spent in its casting. As well as drawing a circle or suitable symbols in powdered dye, the magician must incorporate some material link to the target into the rite, such as a burning brazier or bowl of water (for an elemental) or a text or image associated with the demon (for an oathbound).

At the conclusion of this rite, a demon of the specified type and with a level equal to the level of the rite appears in front of the caster. The demon is not under the caster’s control when summoned; for this reason, most casters summon demons into the middle of an active ward (see Demonic Ward). If summoned into a ward, the caster may dismiss the demon back to its home plane at any point until the ward expires or is broken; once the ward is broken, the demon may only return to the Demonic Plane if it has the power to do so independently.
