Similar to the rites used to summon spirits and humans, this simple rite calls a single animal (or a swarm of very small animals like rats or locusts) to the ritemaster’s location. The ritual summons the closest animal of a desired species within five miles; if no such creature exists (trying to summon a Siberian tiger in the middle of rural Nebraska, for instance), the rite fails. The ritemaster cannot summon a specific animal, nor can she summon supernatural animals or animals with human-level intelligence.

Performing the Rite

The ritualist marks a specific location and remains close to that spot throughout the performance. He must provide “chiminage” for the animal, typically a moderate amount of food the animal would eat. The ritualist performs a howl of summons while moving counterclockwise around the chiminage. Once the rite has been initiated, the ritualist and any packmates nearby must emit a further howl of summons roughly every five minutes until the rite’s subject arrives.
