This spell is greatly prized by summoners and necromancers, as it allows the caster to recall any friendly creatures nearby to a position adjacent to the caster.

Recall is a Summonings/Translocations spell which gradually teleports all enslaved or summoned creatures on the current floor to the caster's vicinity, one every 3-6 aut. It can only bring creatures to within a three-square radius of the caster, so don't expect to pull entire armies into cramped hallways. In an open area (at least 7-by-7, with the caster in the middle), it can summon at most 48 creatures.

This spell will also recall zombies created by the Animate Dead spell, but only if the caster is on the same floor that they were created. Zombies will not be recalled across different floors.

History

Prior to 0.12 it was impossible to recall flying monsters over lava or deep water.
