After she started to calm down and really read through everything, a lot of the information really felt useful.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Because Earth is a largely neutral plane, summonings most commonly tend towards those of a neutral disposition.  When summoning a demon, for example, it is far more likely to get a more benevolent spirit than one of the truly monstrous and vicious beasts that live within the lowest levels of Hell.  Angel summonings are far less likely to receive the exceptionally virtuous.</tt><br/><br/>That made a sort of sense.  So summonings were more likely to get things that were closer to Earth.  She started taking notes.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Any creature who leaves a properly made summoning circle is bound by the rules set forth by the spell.  Most spells promise protection for the lives and souls of the summoner and anyone who the summoner cares about, though a few expand that aegis to all humanity.</tt><br/><br/>So either way she was safe.  She could wash off the pentagram later...though that could be difficult since she'd used Sharpie.  Well, at least she was double safe for a while.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Most summoning circles are made with chalk, a neutral element.  When attempting to get much more angelic beings, salt can be used, and summoning circles in blood call more easily to the more profane.</tt><br/><br/>Also good to know, though she wouldn't want to mess with things too much if it was already in the book that Charlie found.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Under no circumstances should the summoning circle be erased before all the summoned creatures use it to return to their respective planes.  Not only can this potentially damage the covenant of protection, but the creatures may not be able to get back home.</tt><br/><br/>Her eyes went wide as she saw that, but surely nobody would try to erase it...right?
