[VERBS: Focus, meditate, study.]
You focus your magical senses on a sandstone sphere. You sense unfamiliar fey magic coursing through the sphere, but are unable to make sense of the pattern, if there is one. For a brief moment, the air seems to grow crisper around you, with a sharp, cool scent of autumn. Roundtime: 10 sec.
You contemplate your sphere for a moment, but something makes you hesitate.

NAME: Skandith
SHORT DESC: a muscular alfar warrior
APPEAR: a muscular alfar warrior wrapped in an uaro's'sugi of pale Velakan linen
DESCRIPTION: A length of pale fabric is wrapped about the head and neck in layered folds, its color and design matched to the flowing gamantang and loose pants, the soft linen falling in clean lines with edges tucked and draped in careful arrangement. The fae's build is athletic and lithe, with broad shoulders, a trim waist, and defined lines through the limbs that carry a sense of controlled strength. Further, you are shown as already having a guardian spirit alteration. If you continue, this alteration will *ERASE* your previous alteration. The previous alteration will be LOST forever. Continue only if this is acceptable to you!
If this is acceptable, please meditate on your sphere again within the next minute.]
As you contemplate the sphere, the air around you grows crisper, with the sharp smell of late autumn. In the distance, you hear the gentle chiming of bells, though their tones are slightly discordant to your ears. Abruptly, you realize that you are not alone, a muscular alfar warrior wrapped in an uaro's'sugi of pale Velakan linen standing before you. Gently, the creature takes the sphere from your hand, inspecting it gravely.
In a sonorous voice, the muscular warrior says, "This has been lost to my people for many years, and we had all but given up the search. My name is Skandith. I owe you a great debt, Chanepheous. Call upon me at any time, and I will come to your aid." The warrior bows respectfully, its left hand resting over its heart.
As it straightens the warrior appears less real, like a reflection seen in an antique mirror. You close your eyes to blink away the dizzying apparition and when you open them, the creature is gone.
[From now on a CUSTOM cast of the GS spell will summon your altered alfar warrior!]
