Summon Mana Viper is a level 5 Hexes/Summoning spell which summons a single mana viper.
Effect
A mana viper is summoned. Higher spell power increases the strength of the creature. Players have a summon cap of 1; casting the spell again will cause the old summon to very quickly time out.
The hit dice of the mana viper is 5 + <power> / 12, randomly rounded. In this case hit points are not increased based on the hit dice.[1]
Duration of the summon is around 18 turns, it does not depend on the spell power.
Strategy
Mana vipers are fast and moderately durable, with a decent melee attack. Spellcasters hit with its antimagic bite suffer a significant chance of failing any spells they attempt to cast. However, they aren't a reliable means of disabling casters: they don't have the best durability, are vulnerable to the Abjuration spell, and you can only summon one at a time.
Monster Version
Creates multiple mana vipers based on the spell power, their hit dice is not adjusted. Duration is the same as in the player version.
