'''Summon Demon''' is a level 5 [[Summonings]] spell which summons a single [[common demon]] (tier-[[3]] or -[[4]]) to do your bidding. While this can create some excellent allies such as [[smoke demon]]s or [[sun demon]]s, you may also wind up with less useful demon. On top of that, the demon may arrive hostile (higher [[spell power]] makes this less likely), so having [[Abjuration]] ready is advised. Be aware that spell power does not give you better summons, merely more friendly and longer-lasting ones.
