Eternal Champion

By way of mystic draughts imbibed before sleep, the caster dream-speaks with the great warriors of ages past and future. One such warrior is summoned forth to fight for the caster’s cause. When the caster wakes, the warrior steps forth from the next day’s sunrise, and disappears at sunset with all his belongings. The warrior believes himself to be dreaming, but otherwise acts just as he would act in normal circumstances.
The warrior summoned by this spell is inclined, by alignment and proclivities, to fight for the caster’s cause and does so provided he is not offended or otherwise dissuaded. If slain, his body and all belongings vanish to mist. There is a 10% chance the warrior has ancient knowledge of immediate and practical use to the caster, provided the caster asks the right questions.
The caster may only have one eternal champion at any time. Casting this spell while an eternal champion already exists from a prior casting will cause the second casting to fail.
The summoned warrior has stats as noted in the spell check descriptions below.

Side/Secondary Effects

Corruption

Roll 1d6: (1) caster is haunted by dream-like flashbacks to a primordial time, such that any time he rolls a natural 13 on any die roll (whether attack, spell check, saving throw, or anything else), he freezes up for 1d4 rounds and is unable to take any action during that time; (2) caster is marked by supernatural powers as a champion of a certain cause in the distant past, which is never revealed, but supernatural creatures now take on a markedly negative disposition toward the caster, and their chances of being hostile are generally increased by +25%; (3) the eternal champion the caster attempted to summon was posted as a permanent guard in the Courts of Chaos, and so displeased are the champion’s superiors with the caster’s failed summoning that he is marked with a sign of disfavor, visible only to chaos lords and their minions, who henceforth treat the caster with displeasure; (4) minor; (5) major; (6) greater.

---

Misfire

Roll 1d2: (1) caster marks an allied warrior as a candidate for the castings of eternal warrior by spellcasters of other times and places, such that this warrior has a 1% chance of randomly disappearing on any given day as he is summoned to fight for distant causes by others who cast this spell; (2) in casting this spell, the caster inadvertently reverses its parameters and sends himself to the time of the warrior instead of summoning him for the caster’s use, such that the caster disappears at the next sunrise and reappears at the next sunset, bloodied and weary as if he had fought the entire day (treat as 2d4 hp loss and 1d6 randomly determined spells expended the caster has no memories of his time away.
