			'''Summon/Bind Spells''' deal with alien races and attendants, mostly those classified ''greater'' and ''lesser'' servitors. The general procedures for these spells are similar, but each spell is a different incantation. Knowing one spell, as usual, does not help with another. All smart sorcerers will learn the Summon and Bind parts of the spells together. Those who do not are either mostly useless, or soon to be dead. Once the creature is summoned, more magical energy must be spent into casting the binding.<br>
			A '''Binding''' allows the caster to give ''one'' order to the creature summoned. The summoning is temporary, and commands must obey this limitation, as well as any others that come with the spell. Commands should be kept simple and to the point. Vague interpretations do not function the same to an alien mind as the caster's, and attempting to keep the being there until the command is given will usually either backfire, or end up with the being leaving.<br>
			'''Separate Binding''' allows for a sorcerer who comes across one of these beings.. and who knows the proper spell.. to bind the creature on the spot. Obviously, most bindings cannot be performed in combat, but if the caster is able to keep the being's attention on something, or someone, else, they may bind the being and apply the command spell as with a '''Summon/Bind''' combination.<br>

			'''Enchantment Spells''' allow the caster to imbue a temporary amount of magic into an item or device. Occasionally, this is to facilitate another spell, but often it is simply to create a specific use, or add additional properties to something the sorcerer already uses or needs. Enchantments are almost never permanent, and each requires loss of personal power, magical energy, and a blood sacrifice.<br>

			'''Creation Spells''' allow the sorcerer to create or modify items for a specific purpose. Many sorcerers make their own creation spells, but these are used to give a specific purpose to an item ...or body, suitable to the caster's needs.

			'''Contact Deity Spells''' are unused, except by the insane or desperate, or by truly great sorcerers who want to curry favor or power from a deity. If the spells are successful.. and cast by an actual worshiper, the deity may contact the caster a few hours or days after the spell was cast. If the caster has nothing of value, or is a bore to the deity, it may crush him or her, or simply destroy their mind. Use with extreme caution.<br>

			'''Contact Spells''' are not the same as '''Contact Deity''' Spells. Using Contact spells, a cultist or sorcerer could get in contact with an intelligent race, or a servitor of the deities, to learn more about magic, alien species, hidden histories, or even the gods. When using a contact spell, the sorcerer should have a goal in mind. Each Contact spell, while essentially aiming at the same purpose, is a wholly different individual, and each of them are separate. Knowing one does not mean knowing another. Many other Contact spells exist.<br>

	'''Call~~/Dismiss~~ Spells''' call the Avatar, Outer God, or Great Old One before the caster. Casting these spells is perilous, even for cultists. Only cult priests or desperate people should choose to call a deity. A handful are cited here, but there should exist a Call/Dismiss spell for every Outer God and Great Old One. A group or crown is almost absolutely necessary to Call, by pooling their power and magic into the caster of the spell.

			'''Dismissing''' a deity which has been called can be quite a problem, as most would not wish to leave the Earth once summoned. A caster with the appropriate Call/Dismiss spell may attempt to send the deity away, but will require an obscene amount of magical power. As with the Call spells, a circle of sorcerers can participate in the dismissal, but only those who are also familiar with the spell can give out as much power as they want. The deity ''will'' attempt to stay, unless it has no reason to, so even the casting may be a problem to set up.<br>
