Bleeding Edge (3.5e Campaign Setting)/Magic/Calling of Spirit
Calling of the Spirit[edit]
The calling of the spirit ritual is the classic well know ritual, a ritual used to summon creatures from the great beyond. This functions as planar binding (not including the magic circle against alignment effect usually part of this) except you are not limited by HD. You are, however, limited by your participants strength. Far too many novice ritualists cast this ritual while forgetting about the magic circle, and paying the price.
Effective Spell Level: 5th (Conjuration)
Casting Time: 1 hour
Pre-Requisites: There must be a number of participates whose total HD equals or exceeds twice the target's HD, 500 gp per HD of the summoned creature in magical candles (material component).
The ritual is associated with no particular deities, but is assumed to have been a secret leaked from the entities of the outer planes, such as celestials and fiends.
