Summon Manes

Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

Arcane 1, Divine 1 Type: summoning (summons)

Range: 45’ Duration: 1 day

This spell summons one manes per level of experience to serve the caster (see the ACKS II Monstrous Manual for details). The manes appear anywhere within range and act on their own initiative each round thereafter. The caster can give verbal orders to the manes when they arrive and thereafter as an action in lieu of moving anytime they are in line of sight. Orders can be given in any language the caster speaks. The spirits will obey whatever orders they are given to the best of their ability. If the manes complete all of their orders, or for whatever reason are physically unable to obey their orders, they will return to the caster to receive new orders. The manes vanish when destroyed or dispelled, or when the spell expires. This complex invocation requires one turn to cast, and because of its taxing nature, it cannot be cast more than once per day.
