Template:Warlock Summons
Ritual of Summoning is designed to summon a non-present party member to the warlock's location. The spell requires 2 other party members present, which can be of any class, and the summoning consumes a Soul Shard when accepted.
The warlock begins the ritual by casting Ritual of Summoning, which opens a portal. The other 2 present party members (without moving) then right-click on the portal to concentrate on it. Once the portal is ready, the targeted party member has 2 minutes to accept the summoning, and if accepted, will be teleported to the portal's location. Summoning can be accepted while in flight, but not while in combat (if the summoned player drops out of combat during the two-minute time period, he can still accept the summon; the Accept button is merely grayed out until then).
The warlock can determine if the spell was accepted by watching the soul shard count. If the targeted player receives the summon and clicks to accept it, the shard count decreases. If the player does not receive the summon or cancels it, the shard count remains the same. Ensuring that the shard count decreases allows for very quick summons of large groups.
The targeted player will be teleported to the location where the portal appeared.
A warlock can target him or herself as the summoning target in order to quickly hearth, repair, and quickly return back to the spot the ritual was performed. This works inside of an instance as long as the warlock meets the requirements for the instance.
