User:BadCatMan/Magic summons

Magic summons was a spell that caused the caster to be spontaneously served with legal documents.

Effects
Upon casting of magic summons, an extradimensional process-server appeared and delivered the caster a summons to court. This could be for any offense, chosen seemingly at random but possibly for the murder of Drawmij. The server than vanished.

The caster was expected to immediately pay a fine of 500 gp (to whom is unclear) or else be teleported to another plane called "the night court". They might then be sentence to imprisonment for a term of 1–100 years.

Component
Verbal and somatic components were required.

History
The spell was invented by the notorious mage Nimrod of Nump of the Misbegotten Realms.
