Effect	The caster performs a 10-minute ritual to summon and bind an Outsider to their will. This ritual includes the preparation of a summoning circle in an open space 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 Summon ritual for a Rank 3 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. The caster needs a number of successes to bind the summoned Outsider to their will. More successes are required for Outsiders of a Rank higher than the summoner's rank in the seed; however, Outsiders above Rank 5 may not be forced to appear with this spell, although they may choose to answer the Summon (to the caster's detriment!). Successes Needed Below Seed Rank Current Seed Rank Seed Rank +1 Seed Rank +2 Seed Rank +3 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 their own plane or manifested (returned from their plane) as a Standard Action. If a dismissed Outsider is manifested, they may not act until the following round due to the time needed to adjust to their surroundings. When the spell duration expires, the caster may choose to attempt continued control over the Outsider, by making another cast 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 duration. 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. 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 return to its own plane at will.
