Summons a many-headed hydra to fight alongside the caster for a short time. Spell power determines the number of heads.

Summon Hydra is a level 7 Summoning spell which summons a friendly hydra.

Effect

A hydra with 4 to 12 heads is summoned. The number of heads depends on spell power, but it's quite rare to get more than 8. There is a summon limit of 2; additonal summons will cause the oldest to very quickly time out. The duration of the summon does not depend on the spell power and is always very short, around 9 turns.

The number of heads is (1d<power> - 1) / 6, but at least 4 and at most 12. There is always an 83% chance that the number of heads is limited to 8.[1]

Monster Version

The following enemies cast Summon Hydra:

Note that Bai Suzhen cannot cast this spell while in the storm dragon form.
