EFFECTS: The Adept gains control of the every action of one member of a player character race within range. He can control the physical activities of that person, but cannot cause him to cast spells. The subject always has his TMR reduced by 50% for the duration of this spell. The spell continues in effect until the Adept's concentration is broken or he releases the victim. As in the cases of 5-7 and G-8 of this College, the Adept gains complete compliance with his wishes, but the controlled entity obeys literally. Should the Adept order the controlled entity to perform an action that the entity finds highly repugnant (killing a friend) or suicidal (jumping off a cliff), the GM rolls DlOO. If the result is less than or equal to four times the entity's Willpower, the entity does not perform the act, and the spell is dispelled. Otherwise, the act is performed. With this exception, this spell operates in all ways the same as 5-7 and G-8 of this College. 9. Spell of Using Animal Senses (S-9) RANGE: Touch DURATION: Concentration; maximum of 5 minutes (+5/Rank) EXPERIENCE: MULTIPLE: 200 BASE CHANCE: 25% RESIST: Can be passively resisted. EFFECTS: The Adept can use this spell to allow himself to see, hear, smell, and taste the same things as the target of this spell senses for the duration of the spell. Any entity subsumed under the title Lesser Beasts (see T-I of this College) can be used for this spell. The target must first have been Bound before the spell is attempted, and the Adept must communicate with the target for the duration of the spell. Thus, the Adept can use the target as his external eyes, ears, etc. The beast can be sent to spy or do any other task with the Adept as its guide, so long as it remains within range of the Communication Talent (T-I). 10. Spell of Summoning Entities of Light (S-10) RANGE: Works at any range DURATION: Immediate EXPERIENCE  MULTIPLE: 125 BASE CHANCE: Variable (see below) RESIST:  See below EFFECTS: The Adept can summon one  + 1/ Rank) entities from the Creatures of Light classes. Any combination of entity types can be summoned so long as the maximum number summonable is not exceeded. The entities summoned must be native to the area. Creatures of Light can be summoned only during the day or on a night when the moon is between three-quarters and full and is not occluded by clouds, fog, and so on. A summoned entity will appear within 10 minutes ( -30 seconds/ Rank) after the spell is cast. The Base Chance and Resistance possibilities of the spell vary according to the relationship between the Adept and the entities being summoned. If the Adept is a known Servant of Light, the Base Chance is 60%, and the spell cannot be resisted. If the Adept is neutral, the Base Chance is 40% ,and the spell can be passively resisted. If the Adept is known to be aligned with Darkness, the Base Chance is 10%, and the entities can passively resist at a bonus of + 20 to their Magic Resistance ( -1/Rank of the Adept casting the spell). The Creatures of Light are normally intelligent entities since serving Light will involve a choice upon their part, and the option to attack upon appearing is up to the GM. 11. Spell of Summoning Entities of Darkness (S-11) RANGE: Works at any range DURATION: Immediate EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE: 125 BASE CHANCE: Variable (see below) RESIST: Variable (see below). EFFECTS: The Adept can summon one (+ 1/ Rank) entities from the Creatures of Night and Shadow or Creatures of Darkness classes.

Creatures of Night and Shadow can be summoned only at night or in an enclosed area where sun does not directly penetrate. Creatures of Darkness can be summoned only at night. A summoned entity appears within 10 minutes ( -30 seconds/ Rank) after the spell is cast. It always appears in an uncontrolled state, and there is an 80% chance it will attack someone or something upon appearance. The Base Chance and Resistance possibilities of the spell vary according to the relationship between the Adept and the entities being summoned. If the Adept is known to be aligned with Darkness, the Base Chance is 60%, and the spell cannot be resisted. If the Adept is neutral, the Base Chance is 40%, , and the spell can be passively resisted. If the Adept is a known Servant of Light, the Base Chance is 10%, and the entities can passively resist at a bonus of + 20 to their Magic Resistance (no modifier due to the Adept's Rank). Note: Bats appear in groups of 5; each group of 5 equals one entity for purposes of this spell. 12.

Only one type can be summoned per cast, and the type summoned must be native to the area. A summoned entity will appear within 10 minutes ( -30 seconds/Rank) after the spell is cast. It will appear in an uncontrolled state, and there is an 85% chance that it will attack someone or something upon appearance. 15. Spell of Summoning Summonables (S-15) RANGE: 40 miles ( + 5/Rank) DURATION: Immediate EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE: 450 BASE CHANCE: 20% RESIST: Cannot be resisted. EFFECTS: The Adept can summon one ( + I/five Ranks or fraction) entity of the Summonables class.

A summoned entity appears 10 minutes ( -30 seconds/Rank) after the spell is cast, in an uncontrolled state. There is a 75% chance that the entity will attack someone or something upon appearance. 16. Spell of Ego Projection (S-16) RANGE: 5 feet (+5/Rank) DURATION: 1 hour ( + I/Rank) EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE: 550 BASE CHANCE: 10% RESIST: Can be resisted. EFFECTS: The Adept's ego can occupy the body of anyone entity within range, if that entity fails to resist. While the spell is in effect, the Adept's own body is unoccupied. He has left it and now occupies another body; but his ego is tied to his own body by a blue cord of energy that appears as an aura that can be observed in the same way that an aura can be detected. So long as the Adept's ego is tied to his body, he can return to it in a number of seconds equal to [(20 -1/Rank) x number of hundred-foot increments separating the body occupied by the Adept and the Adept's own body]. There is no stretching limit to the cord, which can pass through any material. If the Adept's ego is ever separated from his body by cutting the cord that binds the two, the Adept cannot return to that body, and he is instantly cast out of the body he occupies. The Adept then becomes a Spectre and is played by the GM. The Adept character cannot be resurrected or otherwise reenter the game should this happen. His body remains intact, but he is dead. An Adept can direct the actions of any entity whose body he occupies as if it were his own body. However, should the Adept attempt to impel the occupied entity to do any- thing suicidal, the GM rolls DlOO. If the result is less than or equal to the Willpower of the occupied entity, the Adept is cast out and returns to his own body. He cannot attempt to reoccupy an entity from which he is cast until he casts the spell anew. When checking to see if the Adept is cast out, subtract the Adept's Rank with this spell from the Willpower of the occupied entity. Note: No Willpower Check is made if the occupied entity attempts (under the Adept's direction) to do something repugnant to the occupied entity; only suicidal actions elicit a Willpower Check. An Adept can be cast out of a body of another entity only by a Willpower Check or by a Ritual of Dissipation (see 39.5, Q-l) or by having the cord that binds his ego and body cut. A cord can be cut only by someone who detects its aura and strikes it with a silvered or magical weapon. Unless one of these events occurs, the Adept remains in control of the occupied entity until he chooses to abandon control or returns to his own body automatically at the end of the spell. The spell is always broken whenever the Adept exits the occupied body for any reason. The Adept can reenter an entity's body only by casting a new spell. While the Adept is out of his own body, it remains stationary in a supine position. If the Adept exits his body while standing, the body will fall, and there is usually some chance of resulting damage. The body can be carried along by the Adept (while he occupies another body) or by his companions, or it can be left where it lies. However, the body is inanimate so long as the Adept is not in it, and the body cannot move, cast spells; or perform any other action. The Adept will not know the state or location of his body (if it is attacked or moved) until he returns to it. If the body is killed (Endurance reduced to zero), the Adept will die upon returning to his dead body. If the Adept's body is occupied by another ego when he returns to it, the Adept reenters the body normally, but is not in control unless the ego in control of the body attempts to cause the body to commit a suicidal act, and a subsequent successful Willpower Check or Ritual of Dissipation, etc., leads to the casting out of the alien ego.        If a backfire occurs, the Backfire Table is not consulted. Rather, the Adept's ego will leave his body but will not enter the subject's body. Instead, the ego will find itself DlO miles away from the body in a random direction, floating in mid-air. It can then return normally (but can take a great deal of time getting back). While occupying another entity's body, the Adept uses his own Willpower and Magical Aptitude, but all other characteristics of the alien body are used in place of the Adept's own characteristics. This includes all Rank, actual magical knowledge, skills, attributes, and so on. The Adept always knows everything the occupied entity knows, in addition to what the Adept's own mind (attached to the ego) knew. However, since the occupied body is not trained to perform the same skills and magic as the Adept, the Adept cannot use his own skills and magic while in control of another body. If the host body is killed, the Adept can return to his own body immediately or stay with the host. The Adept will die if he is still in the host body D10 + rank hours after the host body's death, however. A host body that is dead and still occupied by an alien ego cannot be resurrected until the alien ego is driven out. 17. Spell of Summoning Dragon (S-17) RANGE: 40 miles ( + 5/Rank) DURATION: Immediate EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE: 650 BASE CHANCE: 17% RESIST: Can be passively resisted. EFFECTS: The Adept can summon one Dragon (GM's choice of what type, if any, appears). The Dragon appears within 20 minutes (-1/ Rank) after the spell is cast. The Dragon appears in an uncontrolled state, and there is a 90% chance ( -4/Rank) that the Dragon will immediately attack, despoil, and devour the summoner and his companions, regardless of what he can do to anyone else present. Special Knowledge Rituals 1. Ritual of Conjuring Greater Beasts (R-1) This ritual works in exactly the same manner as Q-1, except that it can be used only to conjure Great Land Mammals ( + 10), Fantastical Avians ( -5), Aquatic Mammals ( +5), Giant Humanoids (-10), Fairy Folk (-7), Earth Dwellers ( -5) , Fantastical Monsters ( - 15), Creatures of Night and Shadow ( + 3), and Greater Undead ( -20) .The Base Chance for this ritual is 25% ( +4/Rank). It lasts for one hour. The conjured creatures remain for 1 hour per rank in this ritual. The Experience Multiple for this ritual is 400. It can backfire on a roll of 25 or more higher than its Base Chance, and the results are those listed in Q-1. 2. Ritual of Animation of the Dead (R-2) The Adept can animate D10 + Rank corpses of any type that are within 20 feet (+ 5/Rank) .The ritual must be performed within a circle of protection. The ritual, which takes one hour to perform, has a Base Chance of 30% ( + 3/Rank) and an Experience Multiple of 350. If the animated corpses are recently dead, they will be zombies; otherwise, they will be skeletons. Dead that are animated in this manner remain permanently animated until destroyed. They arise in an uncontrolled state, but outside the circle of protection. The ritual backfires on a roll 30 or higher than the Base Chance. If it backfires, the circle is broken, and the undead can freely enter and attack the Adept and his companions. 3. Ritual of Conjuring Heroes (R-3) The Adept can conjure a great hero from another dimension to assist him. The hero can be any character from the body of fantasy literature or fiction known to both the player and the GM. (In order for the character to know about hero, he or she will need to be sage versed in legends, or consult one to know about the hero) The GM always sets the characteristics of the hero, his weaponry and armor, the number and type of his companions {if any), and the length of time and terms under which he will remain in the Adept's dimension and assist him. The GM can limit the use of this ritual to periods when various celestial bodies are in conjunction {once a Game Year or so). He need not inform the player of any details concerning the results of the conjuring until it has been performed. Example: The GM allows the Adept to conjure King Arthur, but does not tell him that King Arthur will appear wrapped in bandages and infirm from a recent combat. (Poor example since summoning a cripple is pretty pointless!)   The Base Chance that this ritual will succeed will vary according to the hero the Adept is trying to conjure, but should usually be set at 20%. The Experience Multiple for this ritual is 500. The ritual for summoning imps has been relocated to the College of Planar Summonings. GM’s should work out a system for rewarding experience to the controller of creatures when those creatures are used in combat to assist the summoner.  I usually reward the controller with 50% of the value of the killed creature.  Summoners can rack up experience point very quickly by the intelligent use of controlled creatures, but they also have to summon or conjure them ahead of time since the creature will not arrive until after combat has ended.   This can be a powerful college if use with intelligence and good planning.  If you are a character who does no think ahead try some other college.
