- 270 aut
- 360 aut
- 810 aut

Some summoning spells have a fixed duration. The other spells will increase monster duration with spell power.

History
In 0.13, for each summoning spell there is a limit of how many summons can be created. Going over this limit means that the older ones will time out in a turn or two. This will be applied only to non-necromantic, non-permanent player summons. The scroll of summoning and Makhleb's invocations will also ignore these caps. Temporary summons will no longer follow the player down stairs and will expire when the player moves to a different level.
Prior to 0.12 summoned monsters could attack monsters outside of the player's LoS.
As of 0.12, it is possible to summon or recall flying monsters over lava or deep water.
