When the MU memorizes/prepares, he is actually performing the summoning and binding ritual, which allows him to utilizes the servcies of the demon once (or more, if he memorizes/prepares multiple times). <br /><br />That becomes pure colour, but might Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373012312889051280.post-79495803584135925242009-05-11T22:02:00.000-07:002009-05-11T22:02:00.000-07:00That's just the kind of stuff I'm thinking about. ...That's just the kind of stuff I'm thinking about. I really like the Ego conflict idea, and was definitely planning on using that. I'm not sure I will use magic research rules, but might use rare tomes as the ways to learn to summon spirits, and treat those books as rare artifacts.<br /><br />I'm still just thinking about options, though.Doug Easterlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861680803540365438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373012312889051280.post-26926698550745531612009-05-11T19:07:00.000-07:002009-05-11T19:07:00.000-07:00That's an interesting idea.

So, if wanted to go real S&S with it, you could use the rules and costs fro creating magic items and call it researching and casting the ritual of summoning and binding. Maybe you can call on the Demon 3 times/day or doing so uses up "spiritual" charges. Maybe use the rules for intelligent swords and ego contests?Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.com
