A summoning can be done as a once-off ritual or a deliberate attempt to bind the demon into the DemonMaster’s Book of Pacts. In the case of the former, the demon will trade blood—either from the DemonMaster or blood willingly given by a volunteer—for whatever the magician requests; in the case of the latter, the demon will serve the DemonMaster until the DemonMaster runs out of credit or dies (or the book is destroyed).
