- This spell creates a spherical zone of protection around the caster that lasts until the caster leaves the zone, the duration expires or it is dispelled. Summoned, conjured or extra-planar beings cannot enter the zone. Undead are affected as if slowed when within it.  The warding also acts as a dispel magic spell on any spell cast within or entering it.

The warding can itself be dispelled but a Saving Throw applies as above. If two wardings intersect, both are immediately dispelled.

- This spells functions like an improved version of the 7<sup>th</sup>-lvl Arcane //Cacodemon// spell, allowing the caster to summon any devil, daemon, demon, shedu, deva, slaasthak or other named extra-planar being. Arch-devils, demon lords, deities and most demigods are immune. Casting the spell requires 2d4+4 hours, the Warlock's focus and at least 500gp of rare substances. Summoned beings may attempt to Save vs. Spells or use their natural magic resistance to nullify the summoning. In any case, beings summoned this way will at best be extremely annoyed at the caster. Warlocks typically couple a major summoning with a circle of entrapment or an entrap spirit spell.   +This spells functions like an improved version of the 7<sup>th</sup>-lvl Arcane //Cacodemon// spell, allowing the caster to summon any devil, daemon, demon, shedu, deva, slaasthak or other named extra-planar being.

- This spell summons an extra-planar horde to serve the caster.
