The Circle of Onyx
Summoning the Loyal Vassal
Cost: 20+ motes
Target: One ghost.
This spell works as per Summon Ghost with two exceptions, for one, the ghost in question is only summoned for 3 x (Essence of Summoner) days at most, at which point (or when the summoner tires of their presence) they are banished back to whence they came. This doesn't break any bindings of the ghost's will. Also, the necromancer can sacrifice potency over the ghost (-2 dice to bind) in return for making this spell require no ritual. This particular spell therefore is of great logistical and communicative use.
Onyx Circle Errata
- Exquisite Undead Aide now costs 30 and the zombie is heroic (it can stunt, has full seven health levels, etc). It can also upgrade the Attributes of the aide with 2 motes per dot up to the (Essence + Occult) of the necromancer, though not past human levels, and upgrade the Abilities for 1 mote per dot up to the (Essence + Occult) of the necromancer, though these Abilities still can't rise above the necromancer's own ratings. This CAN increase the Appearance of the zombie, which doesn't remove the scent but replaces it slowly with more pleasing death scents (such as the spices used in preparing a body for funeral). And while the Motivation chosen must be to love, cherish, and worship someone (or at most two people), it need not be the necromancer... just most usually make their servants love them more than another.
