Effect
One beast or up to three harpies are summoned. Higher spell power gives a chance of a Sphinx and boosts the strength of the creature.
Possible summons:
There is a spell power dependent chance for a Sphinx, (1 - 61 / <power>) / 2[1]. If Sphinx isn't summoned, there is an equal chance of a Manticore or a Lindwurm.
Summoned monsters gain from 0 to 6 additional hit dice based on spell power. The formula is (<power> - 50) / 25, randomly rounded to an integer.[2]
Duration of the summons is around 36 turns, it does not depend on the spell power.

The monster version functions like the player version, except no hit dice bonus is given to the summoned creatures.
