An upgraded version of this spell, Mass Abjuration, is a level 6 Summonings spell that affects all summoned creatures in your line of sight.
Monster Version
No monsters actually know this spell. However, all monsters which know certain other Summonings spells have a 50% chance of Abjuring instead of casting these spells (this only occurs if you have any summons out, and affects all summons in line of sight like Mass Abjuration):

- Summon Eyes
- Summon Drakes
- Summon Greater Demon
- Summon Mushrooms
- Summon Scorpions
- Summon Ugly Thing
- Summon Demon
- Summon Elemental
- Shadow Creatures
- Summon Undead
- Summon Horrible Things
- Haunt
One side effect of this is that low-level summons can be used to decrease the danger posed by particularly dangerous summoners, as an ancient lich will gladly spend a turn abjuring your summoned quokka rather than summoning fiends. However, spending more than one turn summoning such chaff monsters is usually unwise.
