You use this ritual on a helpless creature of the elemental, fey, immortal, and shadow origin. Usually it is cast on a defeated but live enemy you do not wish to kill. It creates a mystic link to the creature, that you can later use to summon and order it about. This link takes the form of a small art object, often a statuette, ribbon, or a piece of paper with the creature’s name on it. By performing this ritual over such an object, you call the creature to serve you.
The duration of the service depends on the result of the Arcana check, and you suffer a penalty to this check equal to the creature’s level.
| Arcana Check Result | Duration of service and side effect |
| 9 or lower | 1 hour, link is lost |
| 10-19 | 1 hour |
| 20-29 | 24 hours |
| 30-39 | 1 week |
| 40 or higher | 1 month |
If a creature you call to serve is of a higher level than you or the result of the Arcana score is particularly bad, you lose the link. Otherwise, the link can be used again and again, and it can be given away or stolen like any magical object.
