The Summoning Workflow uses Summon/Compile Items to help manage Spirit Actors, including the Summoning Test, including the Spirit's Resistance Test and the associated Drain Test.

Setup

Properly using the Summoning Workflow requires a configured Summon Item in the inventory of a likewise appropriately configured Actor. It is also recommended to preconfigure the summonable Spirit Actor referenced in the Summon Item. The workflow will function without a preconfigured Spirit actor, but will spawn an Actor with a generic name, no token art, and no Critter Power Items.

Summoning

On the Actor's Template:Actor, Left-Click the icon for the desired Summoning to bring up the Summon Spirit

Optional Powers

^[ edit ]

As of SR5 v0.17.1, there is no explicit support for identifying which powers are optional. Using some low-sorting Unicode character such as ⌥ (the symbol for "Option" on Apple keyboards) in the Item's name can allow identifying which is which on any given spirit, and can easily be deleted after using the Summoning Workflow to spawn a new Spirit Actor.
