The ancient art of contracting spirits to complete tasks

ritual magic

depends on what is summoned, a fire spirit may appear in a puff of smoke or jump from the candle on the table, a storm spirit may not show up when called but then show up weeks later with a massive rolling storm

bringing creatures from beyond the material to do things

a spirit shows up, how you interact with them is up to you

It summons a creature that will listen to your requests and possibly help you with them

It can leave the castor drained physically, and can kill them if they aren't careful in their preparations, unless they mitigate the magically taxing process, usually by the use of oricalcum in lieu of using the castor's own magical energies

the more magic you pump into the spell the greater the spirit you can entice to you

Spirit

neutral

very respected by the spirit community if they want to not die

generally the use of your own personal magical reserves or the magic of the land around you, but few spirits will turn down the glint of Orichalcum a substance they covet

knowledge, magic, or orichalcum

Time, patience, knowledge, and a little bribery never hurts either

the magic can't force the spirits to follow your requests, worse if you aren't careful you could anger them

must know a spirits name, after that a magic circle helps or a heap of Orichalcum
