Somewhere beneath the earth was a stone chamber. A complex, arcane circle drawn out of chalk covered the majority of the floor, various incense and candles burning at key points of the sigil. In the center of the tangle of lines lay a nest of sheets. A glowing orb at the ceiling provided light. However, the light was dim, casting shadows. The room was rather warm for clothing, and the heady scent from the various herbs and strange magicks gave the room an almost sensuous atmosphere. Around it all walked a sorceror, clad in the dark robes of a Thaumaturgist, trimmed in the gold of a journeyman.
Evan's brow furrowed in concentration as he paced slowly through the chamber. One hand held a large tome open in front of him, carefully observing the rites for the summoning. He checked the laying of the diagram, comparing it against the book's detailed description. He was no stranger to summoning, but this would be the first time he would attempt to make a contract that would last. Most contracts were one of trade: a favor for the creature, a favor for the mage. But this contract would be for a permanent familiar, one which would serve him for the rest of his life.
He had no idea what exactly would be summoned, other than that it would be female, and by using its own body against it, he would form a contract in his favor.
He touched the glyph upon his forhead for luck, and began to chant.
Aus tor ra no nu fa za regus...
The inital ritual would confine the creature within the arcane diagram, which he stood well outside of. He would use his magic after his... guest arrived. He continued to chant, knowing she would be here quite soon.
