Description: These spells -- Summon Fey Friend I through IX -- summon to your side a creature from the Wold's Cradle, a plane of existence created by the Fae King before the creation of the Wold itself. The summoned ally appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions as you command.

A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities. Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells that have expensive material components (such as wish). A creature that breathes water will use the rules for holding one's breath to survive and fight for so long as it can; a creature without a land speed summoned onto land will simply stay where it is summoned.

The spell conjures one of the creatures from the lists below, '''''chosen at random'''''. There is a chance that the caster will be able to select the creature summoned. Only one creature can ever be summoned with this spell; unlike other summoning spells, you may not chose a creature from a lesser list in order to summon more than one.

The summoned creature usually attacks your opponents to the best of its ability, but the fey and their kind are tricky, and sometimes they enjoy playing tricks. If the creature's alignment matches yours, it will act in your best interest as it sees it, even if you have given it different orders, that is, it will do what is best for you, not what you order, unless your order is the best choice. If the creature is one step removed from you in alignment, or if its intelligence is 1 or 2, it will act as you command to the best of its abilities and to the best of your ability to communicate with it. If its alignment is two steps removed from yours, it will do as you command, but it will be surly and may not follow the entire spirit of your commands. If it is three alignment steps removed from you, it will play tricks on you, "accidentally" include your allies in area attacks, and obey only the letter of your orders. Note that a good creature will not perform evil acts out of spite, however.

The duration of the spell depends on how closely the summoned creature's alignment matches you own. If it is the same as your alignment, the duration is one minute per caster level. If the creature's alignment is one step removed, the spell lasts two rounds per level. If it is two steps removed, the spell lasts one round per level. If it is three steps removed, the spell lasts 1 round plus 1 round per two caster levels.

The alignment of each creature is given in the charts below; use them to roll randomly when selecting the creature summoned.
