Summon Shadow Fiend (Wizard Spell)

This is a specialized version of a gate spell. It is extremely dangerous to cast, and only a supremely powerful shadow caller can employ it with impunity. Shadow fiends are noted for gaining sustenance from the minds of intelligent beings, especially wizards, so most spell- casters should think twice before summoning such a monster. 
A shadow fiend appears only in shadowy conditions, preferably at twilight, and serves only for a limited time. It does not appear if the spell is cast in a brightly lit or completely dark area. Shadow fiends are 50% likely to attack the summoning wizard, with a -5% adjustment for every point of Wisdom and Charisma above 13 that the caster possesses, Huis, a wizard with an 17 Wisdom and 14 Charisma would reduce the likelihood of attack by 25%. 
The material component of this spell is a piece of smoky or black stone that is carved into the shape of a tiny archway. The stone is consumed in the casting of the spell. 
Shadow mages without the shadow caller kit may not consider this spell as part of the school of Shadow,
