Spirit Magic

I think that even "Infernal" notes that there are 'clean' versions of summoning for each or the realms, but that Ablating, Binding and Commanding are inherently evil (and given what they do, that seems pretty reasonable),

@Jachra

And yeah, it's obvious that the powers mentioned are too (unbalanced), ahem, I mean, grossly powerful in a way that's not acceptable, but there's a mention in Hedge Magic of the Spirit summoning always being infernal, in a side bar.

Many thanks for pointing that out, guys. It's always good to know one isn't mentally unbalanced.

Now, imagine someone applying a magical focus to a 20 in both the goetic ability and the "mundane" ability (Artes Liberales?) required... With Cthonic Magic on top... You don't quite get the "inherently evil" and "grossly powerfull" thingie

And yes, Gareth is right, Summoning can be magical (albeit tainted!), there's even an exemple of a Summoner with the magical version (a re-take of an old hedge magic character).
