The planar servitor ritual1 and planar ally, lesser planar ally, and greater planar ally spells allow the spellcaster to call and bargain with a servant of a deity from the Great Beyond, generally to perform a specific task. Unlike summoning spells, the creature bargained with is not compelled to perform the task, and the caster must therefore negotiate a price for its service that depends on the time needed to perform the task, its level of danger, and the servant's power. The spells summon at least one servitor of a deity of increasing levels of power,2 while the ritual's power increases with the value of resources consumed in its execution.34
