Spells & Summoning monsters

Magic Spell Research Speculation Stuff
Me and a friend did 12th level wizards and hoping to pad out the higher levels with content as what I have only really good for about that high maybe 14th. Considered having some skills with fx that kick in at 10th or perhaps unlock stranger skills. Part of me thinks might revise magic to be a bit more different to dnd ip. I like spells in dcc that lets a basic spell get more powerful so burning hands can burn an army eventually. I like some Lamentations spells and enhanced simplicity. I dislike all those hugely detailed spell descriptions that talk about some wizard. Long ago I had a system that had basic combat spells that you chose what the missile was with your version of the spell. I like summoning spells to do this too. Had an ant wizard in one game only called ants. Or a wizard that summons only lame 1HD clone copies of themself. Aso don't really like the Summon Monsters I, II, III, etc

So I like spells that stay useful a long career. Magic missile and charm person in older dnd both stay useful at a high level. Having lots of custom variant spells makes magic people vary more if their summonings and magic zaps have distinct appearances. Reskinning a web to being slime and purple worms might not be a big deal. Even go as far as everyone makes a little paper a6 spellbook to describes vis fx of your versions of the spell??? Some kids like describing spells too hard and using to hijack narrative (ok it can be done well).

Anyway I'm playing with ideas for summoning but none of this set in stone yet
Must avoid rewriting all spells and monsters.
Watching LOTR with friend who informs me one elf makes many orcs

Summoning and Monster Making Magic
So summoning I have played with a bit

I like the idea of more spells to make monsters to populate dungeons
-monsters not necessarily obedient but you can tame or deceive them
-or lock them up in your dungeon to run feral after you die
-make orc spell Lv1=murder an elf becomes a near ageless sterile mockery of elf kind
-make orc spell Lv2=use fresh human corpse disproportionately from male soldiers
-make orc Lv3=make orc from mud but these are sexless bigger brutes d12HD
(modern orcs breed and live longer and most wary of wizards stuff and dark lords)
-make abhuman Lv4 spells fuse human and animal via arcane surgery easiest to make
-loved alchemist art from medieval times of dragons being grown in vats
-jack Vance had quite a bit of this like the AD&D clone spell
-i guess lonely wizards will make cat women and other creepy stuff
-i like spells with some risk so lots of making undead spells risk they will betray you
-golems are slow and expensive to make but less horrible than undead
-alchemists make golems, slime monsters, simulacra, homunculi, even draconic monsters
-safer higher level spells don't have these problems
-perhaps a spell to control summoned beings but I guess charm could

Common Spells
Summoning Creature 1st Lv Spell
-1HD per caster level for one turn per level or dies/vanishes/melts/fades at zero
Summoning Circle 3rd Lv Spell
-1HD critters per caster level for around per level, minimum of 4 creatures
-create lots of figures to strategically tie up the battlefield
Summon Monster 4th Lv Spell - 1HD/Lv
-creatures with multiple attacks or other non-magic advantages
Conjure Planar Thrall 5th Lv Spell
-8hd elemental or lesser demon or devil or angel or faerie
Conjure Planar Power 6th Lv Spell
-16hd elemental or major demon or devil or angel or faerie
Conjure Planar Throne 7th Lv Spell
-nobility of hell/demons/elemental lords/efreeti
Gateway 7th Lv Spell
-open portal to another world or close one

Wizard Summoning
-instantly calls being or beings to point in the range
-from another world or creates from elemental, ectoplasmic, shadow or spectral material
-creatures obey orders and mental suggestions but do have morale scores or own will
-creatures bit thick and naive and without orders stand around confused
-sometimes 1in20 chance a creature survives the spell expiry and flees a wild monster who hates and fears who called it into being

Druid Summoning
-basic spell calls whatever animals or giant animals available
-basic spell calls beast with one attack like wolf, goat or deer
-monster summoning is for animals with multiple attacks like bears or lions
-later spells call magical wilderness beings from faerie land and elementals
-creatures hang around for hours but take a d6 rounds to arrive
-could be recruited as a follower if treated well after the battle
-animal intelligence but not stupid or suicidal but protect and aid druid
-mostly summon animals most with one bite attack like wolves
-high-level spell sylvan or faerie or elementals later usually intelligent
-when animals die their children starve
-druid could charm or befriend animals if like them or reward them
-nice to not just eat them or use a cannon fodder and first aid or feed them after

Cleric Summoning
-each cult has spells to summon beings of the cult Horus priests know summon hawk
-sent by god arrive from sky or a pit or portal, fanatic service to god through the summoner
-summons is instant and creatures vanish back to the gods household
-don't strictly obey you but will fight to death versus enemies then vanish
-low level spells summon a npc character or basic beast with 1 attack
-higher level monster summoning spell calls cult spirits and beasts usually intelligent
-planar summonings call divine servants basically magic monsters angels or devils
-some beings are spirits that coalesce a body from local matter
-beings slain return to the divine source to be reborn again serving the god

Alchemist might mix some potions and charge with a philosophers stone or plant some dragon teeth on the fly for a summoning. Some alchemy might require prep time and money as well as magical energy-infused during a ritual. Mostly they make constructs like golems.

Ideas On Summoning & Creating Monsters
If the plan is to make spells more customisable then I need to
Rough Guide for summoning and creating spells
Roughly a HD/Lv and conditions
Ive considered some extra magic skills such as
-improve average HP per dice from 4 to 5 possibly stack four times to 8hp per HD
-better minimum average on spells that summon random amounts of critter
-i guess familiar might concentrate for you to maintain a spell or command summoned things

1 LV = D8 HD on average but you could
swap a d8 HD for d4x2 HD eg two kobolds or rats instead of a orc
swap 3 d8 HD for d6x4 HD eg four goblin or bandit or dogs instead of three orcs
swap 3 d8 HD for d12x2 HD eg abhuman, dwarf, barbarian  instead of three orcs

Basic HD & HP     Common Critters
d4 or 2hp               Rat, Kobold
d6 or 3hp               Goblin, Dog, Human Guard
d8 or 4hp               Orc, Dwarf, Hobgoblin, Skeleton
2d8 or 8hp             Abhuman beast folk (lizard or hyena), wolf, Zombie
3d8 or 12hp           Bugbear, Wild Boar
4d8 or 16hp           Ogre, Dire wolf, Bull
5d8 or 20hp           Carrion Worm (-2 for lots of magic attacks)
6d8 0r 24hp
7d8 or 28hp           Lion (-2 for extra attacks)
8d8 or 32hp           Hill Giant, Grizzly Bear (-2 for extra attacks)
9d8 or 36hp
10d8 or 40hp
More intelligent creatures -2
Creatures with 3 attacks -2
Some magical or special abilities -1
Many magical abilities or spellcaster -2
Undead have dangerous powers but also liabilities like clerics
Spectral Minions are perfect as can be any level or in group and fade on "death"

Other Thoughts
Most basic summoned creatures are not bright
-wizard summoning drawn from other dimensions or created instantly
-priest summoning calls cult beings that are fanatics that might not do as you wish
-druid summon actual local animals or giant ones whatever is near might come

Higher-level summoned beings are supernatural and often genius intellects

These lists are just tooling around and preferring the above systems. This was an older version of the idea which I gave up on but useful notes and ideas on this stuff.

All this starts to feed into my monster book project which aims to reduce IP monsters.
Possibly a future rewrite will significantly rename monsters and spells.

Holy District of Shadelport

Bells, chanting, rattles, drums all kinds of music can be heard and smells of incense and wine fill the streets. Paradise Hills smells sweet and fragrant and great choirs and orchestras can sometimes be heard. Celestial point smells more spicy and narcotic with chanting and insane gibbering of cults. Shriner's End smells of poverty, livestock and cheap and faded incense and sounds like a marketplace. Sacred Gardens smells of flowers and vegetation with a hint of exotic spice and fruits. Garden is the quietest area with sounds of the chattering of birds and monkeys broken occasionally by chants or screams

1 Paradise Hills

Monumental famous holy places 
Richest, most popular, holiest and greatest temples are here that interact most often with the government and receive to most donations. Several sprawling cathedral complexes are here rivalling any in the world. Templars patrol the street and guide pilgrims and keep order. Various churches provide clerics for this but several specialise 

2 Celestial Point

Esoteric, foreign & new temples
These are the more new and esoteric religions from foreign lands that are successful but not established or supported by the state. Many are cults and some are more philosophical even sorcerer personality cults. Some streets have blocks for rows of proselytisers where common folk can choose a religion. Vigils are initiated performing labours to church, amateur but zealous

3 Shriner's End

Petty gods & temples for commoners

Were shrines and temples of commoners are found in the thousands, Streets of idols in walls and even alleyways have shrines. Poorer peoples welcome here otherwise require official pilgrims permit to visit nicer areas. Petty gods often visit here but meeting them is mostly trouble. Priests here are more down to earth and practical with charity. Many stalls sell relics and souvenirs. City militia act as law here and treat everybody poorly and are unimpressed by unpopular cults

4 Sacred Gardens

Rambling gardens & run down ancient temples

This area is full of parks and gardens, temples here are older and some prehuman ruins. Many abandoned and overgrown buildings where scorpions, monkeys and snakes scurry about. Crumbling ziggurats, worn pyramids and vast mausoleums are here. Some are painted. Temples here are quieter and less popular, many old religions here have been forgotten in other places. Druidic priests and other older religions manage a presence here. Nonhumans operate many holy places here. The quieter streets here have attracted cult kidnappings and local temples tend to secure their own immediate streets with city militia sweeping streets by night looking out for monsters, murder cults or squatters

12 Schools of Wizardry in the Emoverse

The Twelve Schools
Elemental College
Prehistoric schools mostly neutral
Also para elements and quasi elementals but rarer
-Geomancy the Earth Elementalist School
-Aeromancy the Air  Elementalist School
-Aquamancy the Water Elementalist School
-Pyromancy the Fire  Elementalist School

First spells taught by planar elemental beings more common back in the first age Still popular and least hated wizards by common folk. Commonly used in war..

Necromancy College
Mostly ancient evil black robe corpse magic
or white school who heal and commune with dead for advice
or red new school of neutral anatomical biomancy
-Ossimancy or knokencraft
-Carnomancy or fliechcraft
-Sanguinmancy or blutcraft
-Animancy or giestcraft

After the monster age some using their black magic conquered the world with undead. The black school has been hated since then. White school are rare but tolerated. The red school claim to be free of moral evil, seeking to heal, experiment on corpses and make help the living. They are well established in the universities who publicly condemn black necromancy.

Arcane College
Taught in modern schools of various alignments since the rule of humanity
-Enchanters (specialists in making magic items and mind control, aid feudal lords)
-Summoners (specialist in calling planar being for aid, specialised monster summoning)
-Evokers (battlefield army wizards for war or battle mages, call strange destructive powers) 
-Diabolists (wizards dedicated to serving Hell and calling infernal power to grant wishes)

Isolated traditions have been brought into the modern common study of magic. Enchanters are popular with nobility for making magic weapons and influencing others but many fear them. Summoners call beings and objects from other worlds eventually exploring the planes to treaty with great daemons and elemental lords. Evokers specialise in blowing stuff up with a variety of elemental powers used mostly on the battlefield making them popular with military and seen as more modern than elementalists. Diabolists study devils, Hell and demon lore to help deal with these powers. Obviously many distrust them and most consider them corrupt.

Other Magician Systems Confused with Wizardry
Wizard taps magic from their selves, material components and knowing of exploitable universal power. Sorcerers tap into other worldly pre human powers of creation or the planes. Mystics hold spirits or use channelled internal energy to release as spells. Alchemists manipulate by synchronising their spirit to material components to create magic items like potions, weapons, guns, golems even living creatures. True witches understand the secret dawn age lore of magic with power words and crafted fetish items. They evoke forgotten petty spirit and planar beings forgotten by others

Alchemy - a separate system with own spell list and a set price of materials and casting time. Alchemists make special potions often that they prepare then activate at the moment of use. They also make animated constructs, steam apparatus, gunpowder, st and incendiaries and mechanical or clockwork  technology, etc. They don't summon monsters they create them with limited lives from potion bottles and the things shrivel and die in a short time period. Alchemists make life forms using magical apparatus and materials.

Sorcerers - same spells but limited spell knowledge but cast instinctively channelling energy. Often from other worldly bloodlines linked to other planes or supernatural beings or spirits. Tend to be inborn and innate who have strange dreams of non human times and planar beings. Lazier and less dedicated than scholar wizards, usually attract cults or join them, often hedonistic and chaotic. Some have instead made pacts with such beings according to ancient pre human secrets. They tend to occasional get messages or instructions from their patrons. Many so called witches (unlawful magicians are witches by law) are sorcerers. Much more likely than wizards (mostly atheists or occultists) to have supernatural or religions trappings or have cultists serving them as followers.  

Mystics - separate spell system also known as magi, psionicists, mentalists, mediums or shamans. Powers are based from tapping into their personal spirits and gaining spell spirits from the spirit world who are held to prepare in 8 hours of ritual seances and then released to cast. Four main branches of power specialisation. Energy (magi), Body (savants), Mind (mentalists) and Planar (prophets) are the elements of mystic arts. As shamen many barbaric, nomad and wild peoples mystics deal with spirits, ancestors and beast totems. Mediums are civilised degenerate shamen who make themselves open to otherworldly spirits for hire. Shamen and mediums actually capture spirits and use them as spells or project their animus into a spirit to interact with other spirits. They would be Psionicists on Xor or Planet Psychon

Witches - most illegal casters are called witches which can confuse students. Many so called witches are sorcerers or wizards or clerics of unpopular cults like druids. Witch magic is rare now but witches had limited powers common to other spell casters but could cast limited spells more often or at will when powerful. Some say it is the original magic system. (roll to cast spells from limited list but gain some lower abilities at will at high level, roll to see if can cast again in day or automatic eventually). Witches survive best when women and oppressed people have limited opportunities for power, religious status or titles. Most witches are illegal and underground. Many are based on vengeance others are benevolent healers but still persecuted.

Clerics -  warrior priests gain miracles to fight evil (or vice versa). Serve respectable gods known by the masses especially the urban ones. Druids serve rural cults of rednecks, remnants of older people occupied by civilisation. Druids are outlawed or at least persecuted in some lands. Evil clerics are the opposite and use power to spread fear, ignorance and defy what is right. Clerics as military priests often crusade against evil cults or neutral druid sects or operate inquisitions to find hidden ones. Some clerics hunt even outlaw wizards. Powerful robed magical priests might seem wizard like but their miracle power comes from prayers and the miracles occur when the priest says the holy words of power. They just channel and store magic from gods through their holy symbol.

d100 Church Missions

More missions but possibly nicer than the previous posts in this series. Unless you are a godless heathen then not so good. As usual higher number more severe missions. Possibly handy for when healed at a temple. A druid one would be pretty different. Some tasks might just require time and labour. Having finished this I considered could be missions related to petty gods and saints but oh well.
