Higher [[spell power]] increases a chance to summon a [[sphinx]], and boosts the strength of the creature.
 
*Chance of a sphinx is equal to <code>(1 - 61 / <power>) / 2</code>.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|spl-summoning.cc|233}}</ref> Otherwise, there's an equal chance of a manticore or lindwurm.
 
*Summoned monsters gain from 0 to 6 additional [[HD]] based on spell power. The summon gains <code>(<power> - 50) / 25</code> HD, rounded in a weighted fashion.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|spl-summoning.cc|241}}</ref>
 
 
Duration of the summons is around 36 turns; it does not depend on the spell power.
 
 
There is a summon limit of 2; additional summons will cause the oldest to very quickly time out.
 
 
==Strategy==
 
The most standard of the level 7 Summonings spells. All monsters from this spell can attack from range, a distinct advantage compared to the lower level summons. Having a summon cap of 2 is also nice.
 
 
==Monster Version==
 
The monster version functions like the player version, except no HD bonus is given to the summoned creatures.
