But anyway, if RoP-Infernal clearly states that Summoning is not Infernal but the other related powers are, then I will stick with that. I do not have the Infernal book, but if played by the letter, I am willing to let Fixer or someone else serve as judge and sg for your character.
RoP: Infernal states that Summoning is not necessarily Infernal ie. can be aligned to the Magical Realm as in Vortigern's proposed character's case (or even Faerie but probably not Divine...)
It does however mark as "tainted" regardless of Realm alignment when a character uses Sense Holiness or Unholiness, which is not exactly the most common ability...
I'll try and look over Vortigern's character Ludovico some time in the next week. I think Summoners (even Hermetics with Summoning) are really interesting as a character concept and have been contemplating exploring the Titanoi concept, so this should be interesting!

Generic Summoning / Ars Goetia clarifications by Erik Dahl:
Or a regular Summoner for that matter? It's a new Mythic Companion in the Infernal book. I was working on making an old and powerful one yesterday and so far I'm pretty impressed with his power, they have great options with bound spirits. I brought him up to 140 years old and intend to do at least 5 years of lab work on infernal items, and roughly 5 wasted years (from Twilight etc).
I used the main rules for wizards combined with the Virtue rules for Mythic Companions (2 Virtues for every 1 …
Just wondering:
Is it possible to Summon (using the Ars Goetia power from RoP:I) the Daimons of TMRE (or an Aspect of them)?
I can't really see why not, provided the summoner can obtain an Arcane Connection to the relevant Daimon which might be provided by the non-Hermetic Major Virtue Synthemata Magia.
If they can be summoned, can they be bound using the Binding power or Ablated using the Ablation power or does that merely cause an Aspect of the Daimon to be affected?
Thanks,

With the Goetic Art Binding:
Once a spirit is bound, is it prevented from using any of its powers unless commanded or requested to do so by another? This is implied later in the description and would seem to make sense, otherwise many spirits would be able to escape on their own or immediately attack their binder.
If bound within a person or object, does the spirit count as being contained within a summoning circle? Otherwise, to command a spirit bound within an object or person requires 2…
Is Summoning necessary to use the other Ars Goetia Arts such as Ablation, Binding and Commanding? - the text implies that an unrestrained (ie not summoned using the Summoning power) entity is harder to affect with the other Goetic Arts (ie. double the might in order to have an effect), but it seems possible to use a Goetic Art on an entity summoned by Hermetic magic or encountered in the course of an adventure.
If my Strife Criamon apopotraic demonslayer with the Binding ability encounters a ve…
Do the Goetic Arts (Command, Ablation, Summoning, Binding) provide any bonuses to Magic Resistance against similar effects ie. "Form bonuses"?
