Summon Fiend
Summon Fiend
Summon Fiend (Nylisstra) is a Spellweaving spell that summons one or more Imps to fight on the caster's behalf. Each summoned Imp acts like any other summoned creature and consumes one follower slot. The spell scales with the Arcane Focus mechanic — additional Arcanists in the same circle each contribute one extra Imp (subject to follower-slot caps) and one additional minute of duration. The spell scroll is not bought from a vendor; it is the reward of the 3-quest Fiendish Friends chain in Sanctuary.
Spell Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Summon Fiend (Nylisstra) |
| Skill family | Spellweaving |
| Minimum Skill | 38.0 |
| Mana Cost | 10 |

The Imps act as Summoned Creatures for control-slot accounting and dispel mechanics. Known oddity: Imps set to Guard do not attack aggressors against the caster — believed to be a bug, present at time of writing.
Acquiring the Scroll — Fiendish Friends Quest Chain
The Summon Fiend scroll cannot be purchased; it is the final reward of a 3-quest chain given by Elder Brae the Wise in Sanctuary. Take each quest by double-clicking the NPC; a chime announces completion and your quest log (paperdoll context menu) tracks the active steps.
| # | Quest Title | Objective | Quest Giver | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fiendish Friends | Slay 50 Imps | Elder Brae the Wise (Sanctuary) | Access to Quest 2 |
| 2 | Cracking the Whip | Obtain a Stout Whip (drops from an Orc Captain) | Elder Brae the Wise | Access to Quest 3 |
| 3 | Iron Will | Slay 1 Arcane Daemon | Elder Brae the Wise | Summon Fiend Spell scroll |
The chain is single-character — each quest must be completed and the reward collected from Elder Brae before the next becomes offered.
