A Summons One Dares Not Deny

A summons one dares not deny resembles the 9th-level wizard spell succor in that it can summon another being to the caster's presence. Unlike succor, however, this spell brings unwilling characters from up to 100 miles away. Casters must have an item the desired target has touched within the last week. They also must know the target's name and have a detailed idea of what that character looks like.

Targets that miss their saving throws find themselves and the equipment they're carrying transported into the caster's presence. The spell is not exact enough for casters to control precisely where a target appears, though. For example, a wizard standing near a fire pit cannot summon a being into the pit—unless the caster was in there too, and the pit was larger than 20 feet across. Likewise, casters can't call targets into shackles, etc.

If the desired target of this spell does not appear (out of range, invalid material components, etc.), the wizard risks a 50% chance of accidentally summoning a random creature from another plane instead. Not surprisingly, this creature will be immediately hostile to the caster.

The material component is an item the target has touched, as mentioned above.
