This spell is essentially the same as the 7th- level cleric spell of the same name. A succor spell cast by a magic-user will teleport without error the individual breaking the object and speak- ing the command word. If the reverse is used, the archmage is likewise brought to the presence of the individual. Unlike the cleric spell of the same name (qv), the summoned archmage has no choice than to answer the summons, making this version of the spell rare indeed. Intervening planes have only a 1% chance each, cumulative, of causing irrevocable loss of the individual or spell caster involved in the succor. The material component used must be gem material of not less than 5,000 gp value; whether it is a faceted gem or not is immaterial. The components can only be enchanted once per month (usually on the night of a clear, full moon). At that time, the object is “set” for the type of succor and its final destination (either the location of the spell casting or an area well known to the mage).
