Why? It's easier to simply buy them as a ally instead of conflubberating the rules and trying to get them to work. Buying a zombie/skeleton ally for necromancers just makes sense.
That said, in my own games I use a new modifier, Summoned, which contains extra energy cost and relies on a static point level to determine what can be summoned and how difficult that is.
Power Additional Energy Cost
25% +4 energy
50% +8 energy
75% +12 energy
100% +20 energy
150% +40 energy
+50% +5 energy
For multiple beings, multiply the cost by the number of beings. If there are more than five, use the following:
Group Additional Energy Cost
6-10 beings x6 energy
11-20 beings x8 energy
21-50 beings x10 energy
11-100 beings x12 energy
x10 +x6 energy
So summoning a minor devil might look like:
Summon Imp
Spell Effects: Lesser Control Spirit + Lesser Sense Spirit + Lesser Strengthen Crossroads
Inherent Modifiers: Summoned.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).
This spell conjures a minor devil, a imp to do the caster's bidding for the next day.
Typical Casting: Lesser Control Spirit (5) + Lesser Sense Spirit (2) + Lesser Strengthen Crossroads (3) + Duration, 1 day (7) + Summoned, 25% of total (4).
21 energy (21x1).
Summon Imp Horde
Spell Effects: Lesser Control Spirit + Lesser Sense Spirit + Lesser Strengthen Crossroads
Inherent Modifiers: Summoned, Group.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).
This spell conjures a gaggle of a minor devils, six imps to do the caster's bidding for the next day.
Typical Casting: Lesser Control Spirit (5) + Lesser Sense Spirit (2) + Lesser Strengthen Crossroads (3) + Duration, 1 day (7) + Summoned, 25% of total, Group, 6-10 (24).
41 energy (41x1).
This assumes a game where the static point total is about 250. If I was constantly summoning the same being, I'd still buy it as a ally if I could.
