Seek thy abyss. The light blinds the darkness binds.

[Lucia]

Indeed, yes. And my interest in all things serpentine, as well.

[Raleigh]

That as well. A word of caution though, summoning things of that nature tends to get the attention of local powers. I wouldn't suggest summoning it in the middle of Tokyo for instance unless you are wanting to confront Ameterasu or her brother in the middle of the streets.

[Lucia]

And the same applies to Godzilla and the military, I guess?

[Raleigh]

Yeah, but not much call for summoning Godzilla really. He's usually cranky and all that radiation he gives off simply standing around isn't healthy for any summoner. Anyway...

So where to start. ... where to start. Hm.. you said you've gotten to pain elementals. Mind telling me of any thing else you might have called forth before just for me to get the general idea?

[Lucia]

Well, let's see. I've gotten to 50 imps at a time, I've done demonic Serpents and Spider Fiends, I've done Souls of Death.. and Pain Elementals, though of course, those crossing over is never good so I always lock the pentacle so things can only get out, not in.

[Raleigh]

I see. Then perhaps a balrog would be not much of a progression. Hm.. an ifreet perhaps... I didn't hear you mention any elemental demons besides pain so that might be one thing to try. Might also want to teach you some necromantic powers to compliment your blood mage/demon summoner status.

[Lucia]

Nope, just pain. That doesn't sound like a bad idea then.

Oh, right, I've summoned the Gatekeeper once.. and you.. One of those just did not go well.

Necromancy would be interesting. My teachers didn't know any of it, so I don't.

[Raleigh]

Very well. Lets get started on summoning an ifreet then. Show me the method you normally use for your pain elementals and I'll show you what to alter to get the fire elemental ifreets instead.

Summoning me probably wouldn't have been normally possible but from that blood sample of mine you got you managed to pull me in before I could place restrictions on it. Then again I was once summoned before purely by chance.

[Lucia]

Lucia begins to trace an elaborate pentagram on the floor, filling it with the rituals of summons for a pain elemental, then puts a flower-shaped candle on each point of it, not finishing the circle until she's been told what to alter

[Raleigh]

I see, a bit different than the system I use but I think I can make the alterations. Okay first is that this and this. *He points at a few of the symbols in the rituals.* Will need to be replaced with a call to flame and fire rather than pain and torment. There is the option of an offering of something burnable or even simply the enticement of more fuel here in a world with free flowing air. The candles I see no particular poblem with but since its not from a system I work with much could you explain why they are flower shaped?

[Lucia]

Ah, Doesn't sound too hard. Lucia fixes the runes

The candles are flower shaped because they used to be flowers. Makes things simpler when you don't have to go through the process of making or buying each candle, not to mention the life energy of changed ones is much more effective for calling.

[Raleigh]

So you also know some transmutation then. Good to know, though I guess you did mention something about alchemy earlier. So long as it wasn't symbolic in your ritual then you should be good to go. Just activate it and concentrate on calling forth a flame elemental.

[Lucia]

More that that's the one object of use I have, but.. yeah.

Lucia focusses, finishing the circle and willing a beast of flame into the center.

[Raleigh]

*Watches as the ifreet forms in the circle and observes in case he needs to reinforce it.* Looks like it worked. ((Err what was that you said? I'm not sure if I followed your previous statement there.))

(Only object Lucia has with her, turns things into candles)

Lucia smiles, as she places binds in place to hold the creature in the circle, focussing deeply on it with her will
