description: with this spell the caster may bind 1 level of spirits to his service per level of the caster. the spell is automatically successful if the spirit is willing (and the bar isn;t a um failure) and if the spell succeeds it lasts until the spirit is released or the death of the caster. the spirit will normally serve to the best of its abilities and can communicate witht he caster at a range of 10'/lvl. the spell is not dependent on the casting range for purposes of maintaining after a successful casting. if the spell fails to succeed, the spirit may opt to enter into spirit combat with the caster. if it wins, it can do as it pleased (unrestricted by range) for the remainder of the summoning spell duration. a bound spirit may not directly attack its binder, and if released, remains for 3 rounds, before being forced to return to the spirit world. during these 3 rounds, the spirit is free to do as it pleases. at one time, a caster may only have up to one bound spirit per level (of the caster).
