Failure To Correctly Inscribe A Circle Of Protection Or Thaumaturgic Triangle: Failure to correctly inscribe both the circle and the triangle will nullify the summoning spell. The creature will briefly appear and then vanish back to its home plane. Failure to properly inscribe either the circle or the triangle will result in the creature appearing, but not being constrained in any fashion. This can be very dangerous as the creature is free to act however it likes. Evil creatures may try to enslave, kill, or perhaps even possess the caster’s physical form. Good or neutral beings will most likely return to their home plan.

Failure To Seal A Pact: Failure to seal a pact results in the creature being released from any restraint, allowing it to return to its home plane. Evil creatures may try to punish the caster first, especially if they believe that they can do so with comparative ease, or they may seek revenge at a later date.

Successfully Sealing A Pact: Once a pact has been successfully sealed, the summoned creature may be made to perform a service for the caster. The exact type of service depends upon the type of creature and its level and capabilities. Should the caster command a summoned creature to perform a service that the creature is not able, or required by the pact, to perform,based on the type of creature summoned, the pact will be instantly broken. In such cases, the creature will usually just return to their home plane, although hostile or evil creatures may seek vengeance at a later date.
