"Please do. On a related note, can you in fact do things of the variety 'conjure everything someone has ever written'?"

"Yes, I can. Again not magic stuff but otherwise yep. For this reason among others I would normally have been very hesitant to tell everybody at home this world exists but I was under some interesting constraints at the time. If you want some painless brain surgery you can have a state of the art computer like mine that you control with your brain and that we can't decrypt though."

"Not yet. That use of conjuring could be as useful to us as it is harmful, and how harmful it is depends on whether summoning is repeatable. So. Are there any daeva you know and trust 'at home', who are already aware of the existence of Golarion, such that we would not cause the secret to spread further? Also, I would like a more general explanation of 'computers', but after the test."

He walks over to Cam to get a look at the circle on his computer.

(Carissa is pretty sure it just doesn't work here, with Cam a weird accident; if that's false, then everything is going to change so rapidly all she can hope for is to be far away on the Moon when it does, and importantly if that's false Cheliax already has this.)

(That doesn't make it not more of a betrayal of Cheliax than anything else so far, just one that's concentrated into an unlikely world.)

"Inconveniently I am in my downtime a huge introvert and cannot unequivocally recommend anyone I know to be summoned unbound. But, uh, they're all definitely aware if they read anything I write at all so all the ones I could contact will not in being contacted spread the secret further! I can recommend ones who I don't think would do anything heinous but I am unusually prosocial as people go." Behold, the text of a Safe Summoning Authority generic ungagged demon apsel circle and a diagram of how to wrap it around the circle part.

He dismisses the Antimagic Field and Prestidigitates the circle on the floor.

"I can probably actually do this part, come to think of it, you don't need paper per se, I can do it in, like, ketchup or something. It'd be faster and less error prone."

"I was under the impression only mortals could summon, but if you can do it—I suppose I cannot stop you." He'd rather not take the risk of the apsel suddenly doing something Chaotic with the binding, but he's already entrusted enough to Cam being friendly that—it doesn't actually matter.

"You have to do the last step but I can copy out the binding for you and give you some ketchup to fill in the broken circle. Read it over if you like, it's still faster to read than to write."

Ketchup! And more ketchup in a little seaweed packet for the spymaster.

He competes the circle.

Nothing happens.

"Well heck. Guess I am it for the foreseeable future."

"I would not be certain your summoning is not repeatable without significantly more research than we have time for here and now—and even if no mortal can replicate whatever magic brought you here, I would not be surprised if Hell managed it. However, if this result is indicative, that is probably good news on balance—though it does mean that keeping both you and your summoner our of the hands of Cheliax or Hell will be both more important and more difficult. Do you know if you can be affected by mind-affecting spells, and how easily?"

"I have lined my skull with lead. - and am immune to lead poisoning. I have performed no further experiments in that direction."

"That should protect against divinations—mind reading—but not enchantments—mind control, broadly speaking. I would like to determine if one of our common mind-control spells works on you, or if one would need to use the version that works on outsiders, which is ninth circle—and not a cleric spell, so there is no one in Cheliax specifically who can cast it, although they could conceivably obtain a scroll." He'll see what bribe Razmir requires to swear to absolutely under no circumstances sell a scroll of Dominate Monster to anyone but them. "Additionally, can your summoner compel actions from you, or merely forbid them?"

"Merely forbid them, I can stop doing stuff whenever I want. Uh, I don't really want to be mind-controlled; I understand the value of having the information from the experiment but would like a thorough explanation of what's going to happen if it works on me first."

"You will have the opportunity to resist the spell, which you should do—it will be informative if you can; if you fail you will be compelled to obey my commands until the spell is dispelled or expires—which it would do by default after about two weeks, at my power level. I do not need to give you any commands to know whether the spell has taken, although I would like to test whether it overrides your binding. For that I will attempt to compel some trivial conjuration which your summoner has forbidden. You have my oath that I will dispel the spell immediately afterward, and that there will be no lasting effects after it is dispelled; the terms under which I am here additionally forbid me from casting any enchantments on you without your ongoing permission, and I intend to abide by those terms."

"For some reason she does not want me to make burlap sacks," says Cam. "You can aim for that. Does this rely on spoken commands?"

"No, it creates a telepathic link, although that link is not capable of carrying anything other than spoken language. The spell does not affect mental state, only actions."

"Sounds very fake that lead would block divinations but not telepathic links." He sets up a camera to record the interaction and gets his mug with which to swig some human-safe-doses of anxiolytics. "I'm ready."

Dominate Person.

Doesn't work.

"It seems that you are not relevantly a humanoid," he says. "Which is good; there ought to be only three people in Avistan who can directly mind-control you. One of them is Felandriel Morgethai, who shares roughly your opinion of compulsions; another is Razmir, who does not; and the third is Areelu Vorlesh, who is a partisan of Deskari, the demon lord believed to be responsible for opening the Worldwound."

"Does the mind blank thing Carissa got handle these situations if I need to, say, assassinate Areelu Vorlesh?"

"It makes you significantly more resistant, but not immune. Whether this would be enough to provide reliable protection would depend on your natural resistance to mind-affecting spells, which, inconveniently, I was not able to assess. If your resistance is commensurate with your power, as it typically is for beings in our world, you should have no problem, but I have no good reason to expect this to be true in your world. At any rate, I do not have one prepared today, but I would if you were to—can you actually assassinate Areelu Vorlesh?"
