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: 1 turn (level 1-2) / 2 turns (level 3-4) / 3 turns (level 5-6). 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
