CHAOS SPIRIT MATRIX
Effect: Summon any one
Chaos being built on up to 1,000 Charac- ter Points
Target: Special
Casting Time: 20 Minutes Casting Procedures: Gestures,
Incantations
Duration: Instant
Range: No Range
END Cost: 25
Description: To summon beings from other planes, Atlantean wizards use special “spirit matrices” — arcane pat- terns developed over millennia, subtly altered depending on the type of being the wizard wishes to summon and his own spellcasting preferences. To cast the spell, the wizard scribes the pattern on the floor or ground (a process that takes about 20 minutes), then calls forth the being he wishes to conjure, who appears forthright. The wizard has no control over the summoned being; he must obtain what he wants from it by nego- tiation, force, or trickery.
This spirit matrix allows the caster to summon beings of Chaos, such as Chaos Demons. No two Chaos Spirit Matrices look alike, and in fact the caster changes the matrix from use to use depending on intuition, insight, and desire. A Chaos Matrix is best drawn with at least a dozen different color inks or paints on a broken, uneven stone surface. (If the wizard does not satisfy these conditions, the Summoned being may get a +1 to its EGO Rolls to resist his attempts to compel its service.)
You can convert this spell to Order
Spirit Matrix simply by changing some
of the description and Limitations. An Order Spirit Matrix is typically drawn in white and black inks on a precisely- sized flat stone surface in a featureless enclosed room.
Game Information: Summon any one Chaos being built on up to 1,000 Character Points, Expanded Class (any Chaos being; +¼) (250 Active Points); Concentration (½ DCV throughout casting; -½), Extra Time (20 Minutes; -2½), Gestures (throughout casting; -½), Incantations (throughout casting; -½). Total cost: 50 points.
Options:
1) Lemurian Version: Rather than creat- ing spirit matrices, Lemurian conjurors use small amounts of the raw form of all four elemental substances to summon Chaos beings. Add OAF (-1). Total cost: 42 points.
2) kaphtoran Version: Add OAF (Mage’s Staff; -1). Total cost: 42 points.
3) Master’s Form: Increase to 1,200 point beings. 300 Active Points; total cost 60 points.
