Effect	The caster performs a 10-minute ritual to summon and gain control of an Outsider. This ritual includes the preparation of a summoning circle in an open space that is at least 4 yards wide. The ritual forms a gate to the caster's chosen plane and summons an Outsider of the desired Rank to the current plane. The creature type is determined by the Storyteller, unless the caster uses a specific Outsider's name in the ritual. A Pandemonium sorcerer's attempt to Summon a Rank 3 Outsider might draw a Succubus, Vrock, or a Babau, unless the summoner knew a specific demon's name, in which case that specific demon would appear. A sorcerer cannot summon an Outsider that is actively bound to another. Also of note, a maximum of Rank Outsiders may be bound at one time, and only one may be manifested at a time. While bound, an Outsider may be compelled to reveal its name, allowing the summoner to call on it again. When summoning an Outsider, the caster makes a Casting Roll (Willpower + Sorcery + Seed: Summon Rank) in an attempt to bind the Outsider to her will. The number of successes it takes to bind the summoned Outsider to the caster's will depends on the Caster's Rank in Seed: Summon and also the Rank of the Summoned Outsider (see table). More successes are required for Outsiders that are a higher Rank than the summoner's rank in the Seed. Outsiders above Rank 5 may not be forced to appear with this spell, although they may choose to answer the Summon - often to the caster's detriment. Outsider Rank Below Seed Rank Current Seed Rank Seed Rank +1 Seed Rank +2 Seed Rank +3 Successes Required 1 2 Outsider Rank Outsider Rank + 1 Outsider Rank + 3 If the binding is successful, the Outsider is placed under the control of the caster for the duration of the spell. The Outsider may be dismissed to its own plane or manifested (returned from its plane) as a Standard Action. If a dismissed Outsider is manifested, it may not act until the following round due to the time needed to adjust to its surroundings. When the spell duration expires, the caster may choose to attempt continued control over the Outsider by making another Casting roll with a -1 penalty for each time the duration has been extended in this manner. If the roll is successful, the duration is refreshed. If unsuccessful, the Outsider breaks free of the caster's binding in the same manner as failing the initial ritual. If the duration ends and the caster does not choose to extend the duration, the Outsider is sent back to the plane it was drawn from, and the bindings are removed. If the caster is killed with the Outsider manifested, it may either return to its home plane or remain for the remainder of the spell's duration. . If the binding fails, the Outsider may either return to its home plane or remain for up to 24 hours. If the Outsider remains, it may torment or kill the caster, but it may also choose return to its own plane at will.
