My char would, but he doesn't like it. As someone mentioned
here for his char, he summoned a City Spirit to protect him and chummers
from a set of 3 Force 8 Elementals(OUCH). He was a Cha 7 Elf(Shaman, Dog
-- he rarely did anything but summoning, for casting didn't bring one as
close to one's totem as summoning, in his opinion. And he didn't summon
much, either. Didn't want to insult Dog by calling on him for trivial
things. He did cast, but not often...and he summoned a bit more.) So,
he summoned a Force 12, got a success, and paid a Karma for another. The
Spirit saved his bacon, and he freed it of its other service...as a
thank-you.
