Effect: By casting this spell,
the [cleric] creates a powerful dweomer in some speciallly prepared object --
a string of prayer beads, a small clay tablet, an ivory baton, etc.

This object will
radiate magic, for it contains the power to instantaneously transport
its possessor to the [sanctuary] of the cleric who created its dweomer.
Once the item is magicked, the cleric must give it willingly to an individual,
at the same time informing him or her of a command word to
be spoken whhen the item is to be used. To make USE of the item, the
recipient must speak the command word at the same time that he or
she rends or breaks the item. When this is done, the individual and all
that he or she is wearing & carrying will be instantly transported to
the sanctuary of the cleric just as if the individual were capable of
speaking a word of recall spell. No other creatures can be affected.

The reversed application of the spell enables the cleric to be transported <ruccos?>
to the immediate vicinity of the possessor of the dweomered item
when it is broeken and the command word said. The cleric can choose
not to be affected by this "summons" by making that decision
at the instant when the transportation is to take place, but if he or she
so chooses, then the opportunity is gone forever and the spell is
wasted.

MC: The cost of preparing the special item (for either version of the spell) varies from 2,000 to 5,000 gold pieces.

Effect: This spell is essentially the same as the 7th-
level cleric spell of the same name. A succor spell CAST by a MU
will [teleport without error] the individual breaking the object and
speaking 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 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.

MC: 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 (usu. 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 teh spell casting or an AREA well known to the mage).
