Summon Spirit - Wu Jen (Wizard Spell)

This spell allows the wu jen to summon any type of spirit. The caster must have a particular spirit in mind when the spell is cast and the spirit is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. The spirit can be the ghost of a long dead ancestor, a spirit of nature, or any greater spirit that occupies the Prime Material Plane. Once summoned, the spirit appears before the caster, re­maining for one turn. It is cooperative and friendly, considering the caster to be a helpful or needy person. However, aside from appearing and remaining for the turn, it is not under any obliga­tion to the caster. It freely answers questions, pro­vides guidance, and assists the caster within the scope of its abilities at that moment. The DM may adjust or disallow the spirit's saving throw based on the material components used, the urgency with which the spirit might consider the matter, or campaign plot considerations.
The material components for this spell are a stick of incense and an offering appropriate to the nature and power of the spirit summoned.
Notes: Uncommon for other necromancers.
