* '''Summon Character (2/Rest).''' Spend 3 AP to magically call forth a spirit that takes the form of a character from this tome. This creature appears in an unoccupied space within 20 ft of you and has the stats of any ML 2 or lower creature with only the beast tag or is a NPC. A Summoned Character loses any magic from the Five Sources that its stat block would normally allow. It is a corporeal spirit and possesses any equipment that the stat block would normally have.

The character lasts for 10 minutes, until it is dismissed by spending 1 AP on your turn, or until it is reduced to 0 HP.
