Scroll of Summoning

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

Strategy

  • Useful for creating temporary allies in difficult fights
  • The summoned monster will help fight your enemies
  • Particularly effective when facing challenging bosses
  • The summoned creature has a chance of becoming a pet if it can be tamed
  • Be careful about the type of monster summoned, as not all can be tamed
  • Cannot be used in boss levels (checks `level.isBossLevel()`)
