Extremely. Many have died perfecting the art of summoning.

It was in Czech, since the spirit was originally Slavic in origin. I had to fortify the circle first- guard it against the oncoming spirit, put magic behind the runes. Then, I had to call the spirit itself- very tricky because in the midst of calling upon it, I also had to bind it to the confines of the circle. That's the part where a mispronounced syllable can cost you your life- that and the original fortification.

Because the spirits are from Adstringendum, rather than the Other Place, I have to modify the summoning to change the location I call it from. And finally, the calling itself- you give the command 'to come'.
