[Calchet]

I might well toss in a few summons if I can manage to create art that works well as representing their results, but I'll be the first to note that I'm not a real artist.

Putting that aside, though, I have a hard time seeing most ascendants putting themselves under the command of a pretender - possibly excepting said Oponn, and then only for a time. (Until luck turns, say.)

The summon should, I reckon, be astral-based and involve the possibility of getting absolutely nothing or less than what you pay for. Say, a set of results including the twins themselves, three or four useful units that are still worth less than what you pay, and one or two completely useless units.


If things work out well with the Malazan Empire, however, I'll likely move on to other nations in the universe, which will bring in some ascendants as pretenders - Rake and Brood, for example.
