Title: The Art of Summoning
Author: Izrem Verin'Vlos
During my time spent in the Underdark I was being trained to become a master of summoning. The basic usage of this skill is within the grasp of any high level mage. An elemental or a daemon, or even a chaotic whirlwind of mana. However, the drow learned long ago that trying to simply channel the minds and bodies of worldly creatures was, ultimately, a fruitless method of control. Our research was thus turned to the summoning of monsters and creatures that could serve more insidious purposes. In this way the Drow have learned to control the demons that dwell within the ethreal mana realm to do our bidding. We have far from perfected the technique, and the summoning of these demons has proven somewhat... disastrous from time to time. Nevertheless, the ability to bring these demons to the mortal realm proved useful for both personal power and control.
The other facet of summoning was to bring a deceased soul back from the ether. The soul never stuck, but the body could move and think again as it once had. This method was abandoned as a fashion of "ressurrection" as the ressurrectee became incredibly unstable and violent. Good as shock troopers perhaps, but the Drow down below had no use for that. They tried to rework the technique as it made the resurectee immune to pain (not immue to harm though), again useful for troops. But it was found that if they inherited one traits of a re-born soul they inherited them all.
I finished all the study of these methods, but was thrown from the Underdark before I could practice them. While I have the knowledge, I have yet had enough time to test the methods, so I am not sure of their true capability. In time though, I will perfect the methods in time. And expand them if neccessary.
Blood Ritual
(Insanity Ressurection)
Reagents:
-Bone of the fallen resurectee (rest of the body may be present)
-Five vials of demon blood.
-One pentagram or other summoning point of power.
-Two mages of at least grandmaster capacity.
-One weapon of power pre-enchanted with control runes.
Pre-Ressurection:
1) Take the weapon of power to any circle of summoning/power.
2) Using the standard spells of bless (for ressurection by a lightbringer) or curse (for Nightwalkers) and attach standard control runes over the weapon.
Procedure:
1) Place the body or bones of the resurectee in the center of the circle of summoning.
2) Place the five vials of blood around the circle of summoning.
3) Position the two magecasters opposite of each other. And move all others at least 4 paces from the casters.
4) Form a magical field between the two spellcasters (blessing each other or simple casting a low level spell such as magic arrow will do it).
5) Begin the incantions. (see pages after instructions. They are in ilythiirra, but they work in any language)
6) Dump out the five vials of demons blood upon the circle of summoning. It will move to the bone/body on its own. The vials can be then thrown away.
7) Make the final incantations.
8) When the spirit of the fallen is present, cast the spell of bodily ressurection (an eighth standard spell).
9) Stand away from the resurectee. Do not cast any spells of healing or use any items of healing.
10) Allow the resurectee some time to sort themselves out.
Note:
Depending on the personality the reborn may become anything from brooding to highly aggressive to downright insane.
