Basics
- Summoning/Binding/Warding by itself doesn't do anything, only its rituals do.
- Each ritual targets one specific type of creature or object, e.g. Summon Insects.
- Wraiths/spectres count as a single creature type.
- Sorcerers/psychics count as a single creature type.
- In case of questions about how finely to draw these boundaries, ask staff.
- Roll: Intelligence + Occult vs (3 + level)
- Duration of casting: 10 minutes. Each additional roll doubles total casting time.
- Duration of effect: By aspect
Aspects
- See main Numina page for summary of aspect mechanics
- Summoned creatures must appear to the sorcerer, becoming visible if possible
- Summoned creatures must move under their own power, they are not teleported
