| This scroll calls forth several creatures woven from shadow into the shapes of those beings found within the reader's immediate vicinity. |
Reading a scroll of summoning will instantly summon a collection of allied monsters appropriate to the floor you are currently on, similar to the effects of casting Shadow Creatures 2d2 times but with greater duration than the actual spell. These reinforcements can be extremely variable in quality, but the scroll is capable of bringing an immense amount of support to bear instantly and for no cost beyond the scroll itself. They are extremely rare.
