This spell allows the mage to summon a being known as the Stablemaster. This ritual requires 50 sp worth of ritual components to perform. It takes 30 minutes to cast and costs 10 spell points.
If cast successfully, the Stablemaster, or one of his apprentices will appear. The Stablemaster will take care of the summoner's horses and wagons - for a price. Each horse is 1 sp a night. Each wagon is 3 sp a night but one wagon can be stored for free for every 6 horses paid for. There is no maximum time limit though the horses will age normally. The Stablemaster has a 20 sp minimum fee so even using him for 1 horse for 1 night will incur a charge of 20 sp. The only money required up front is the 20 sp minimum fee.
Stablemaster Fees
- Horses - 1 sp per night
- Wagons - 3 sp per night (but one wagon can be stored for free for every 6 horses stored)
- Minimum fee is 20 sp
Once the fee is paid, the Stablemaster (or apprentice) will cause a stable door to appear. The door will open, apparently into a large (extra-dimensional) stable. He will lead the horses into the stable and close the door. The door and Stablemaster will disappear.
To recover the horses and/or wagons, this ritual must be performed a second time to summon him again. At that time, the summoner must pay up if the total bill came to over the 20 sp up front cost. Once this is done, the Stablemaster again causes the stable door to appear. He (or his apprentices) will lead out the horses and/or wagons.
The base chance of casting this ritual successfully is 1%, plus normal MA bonus, +5% per rank. |
