Scroll of Summoning
The Scroll of Summoning is a magic scroll in Remixed Dungeon that allows the player to summon a monster from the current dungeon level as an ally.
Effect
- Summoning: When read aloud, the scroll will summon one of the monsters from the current dungeon level
- Ally Creation: If the monster's will is weak enough, it will become your servant and fight alongside you
- Summoning Location: The monster appears in an empty cell next to the reader
- Pet Conversion: Uses `Mob.makePet()` to convert the summoned mob to a pet if `mob.canBePet()` returns true
Restrictions
- Cannot be used in boss levels (`level.isBossLevel()` check)
- Requires a valid empty cell next to the reader (`level.getEmptyCellNextTo()`)
- If no valid cell is available, the scroll fails with “No Valid Cell” message
- Shows “Using Failed Because Magic” message when used on boss levels or invalid cells
