As we get deeper into Summoning, I think we’ve been interpreting something wrong.
Question 1: Let’s say we have a Sanctified or Restless Dead, and thus The Price is Tribute. I fail my bargain. Does the tribute Resources cost raise by 1 or does the cost become Possession? (Similarly, if I succeed, does the Resources lower by 1 or become Mark?)
Question 2: Duration (328, 332). If the Intent of the Service is a “single service or task” that could take day+, can the Duration be longer than Single Event? Or must all start at Single Event and the Bargain up?
Question 2b: If the Duration depends on the Intent, I assume this can modify the Ob of the Summoning or the cost of the Service? Is there any guidance for this?
Question 3:
327: If he met his obstacle…He announces one of his many names
328: If the summoner exceeds his obstacle…The announces itself with one of its personal names…
328: If the summoner exceeds his obstacle to summon, he also learns one of the creature’s names.
Is 327 incorrect, or is this saying you get a name but just not a Name?
