I'm not sure how your vivisection chamber works, but it would be a rare wizard who could create a gate without help.

Calling is, on the other hand, an excellent way to meet the dragon on your terms rather than his. Indeed, that may be an overpowered spell. You can avoid all sorts of difficulties with Calling. Sentries could be called off their posts and dispatched easily one at a time, for instance -- so long as the wizard has the ST and mana for this approach.

That's a good spell to discuss in Shostak's weekly thread!

Anyway, the notion that we could reasonably discuss whether a particular individual or party could take a dragon is usually too open-ended to take seriously. It all depends on the circumstances. The Calling spell, on the other hand, does give the wizard great latitude in picking the circumstances.
