Summoning[edit | edit source]
Monster Summoning: With this summoning, creatures from other places or dimensions are called up to reinforce your party. Different High Magic and Druid Magic spells let appear different creatures, but have all one thing in common: They need an open character slot in your party for the conjured creature. Furthermore, they do not stay forever, but will sooner or later return to where they came from. The more power points you invest into the conjuring, the longer will the creature stay. Conjured creatures appear with their own armour and weapons, but you can also equip them with other items.
