Aberrant spheres

Aberrant spheres were magical devices which summoned aberrations to the user.

Description
The surfaces of such spheres seemed to flash words in the speaker's native tongue, just visible enough to remain unidentifiable.

Powers
Those spheres renewed their three charges each day. By spending one charge, a carrion crawler was summoned; by spending two charges, a grick was summoned instead, and by spending three charges, the creature summoned was a cloaker. The summoned creature remained for slightly more than half a minute, commensurate with the power of the spheres themselves. For as long as the monster was still present, the owner's mind became more vulnerable.

On summoning the monster, the sphere shattered, reforming after their departure or destruction; no more than one monster could be summoned at a time.

History
These spheres had been created by alienists and other cultists who worshipped aberrant entities. Zceryll was known to have created her own.
