Spell Effects & Mechanics

  • This spell will summon a Hell Hound of the appropriate type depending on the Demonologists Aspect. The character must be in their Death Count for the spell to affect them; if cast upon an undead character or a character who is not at least Bleeding to Death, the spell has no effect and the Power Points are wasted. At the end of the character’s Death Count, their soul is sacrificed to Hell and a Hell Hound will emerge from the dead character’s body. The character’s soul spends a short time in Hell where it is tormented by the denizens of Hell. If the character is healed before the end of their Death Count, the spell ends and the summoning fails. Dispel magic will not stop the spell.
  • When the demon is destroyed, banished, or 1 hour passes, then the demon returns to Hell, leaving whatever worldly possessions it had behind. The player may now go to the Healer’s Guild and resurrect. There is no special consequence of their time spent in Hell other than not being able to play, while playing the demon. Hell Hounds cannot use the items of the character used to summon it.
