Casting a gate spell has two effects: it causes an interdimensional connection between the plane of existence the priest is in and the plane in which dwells a specific being of great power. The result of this connection is that the sought-after being can step through the gate or portal from its plane to that of the priest. Uttering the spell attracts the attention of the dweller on the other p1Jane. When casting the spell, the priest must name the entity he desires to make use of the gate and to come to his aid.

There is a 100% chance that something steps through the gate. The actions of the being that comes through depend on many factors, including the alignment of the priest, the nature of those accompanying him, and who or what opposes or threatens the priest. Your DM will decide the exact result of the spell, based on the creature called, the desires of the caster and the needs of the moment. The being gated in either returns immediately or remains to take action. Casting this spell ages the priest five years.
