Agreed. I like seeing one of the conjuring mages going unconcious affect
the summoning somewhow. I'd rule that if the leadre goes under, the spirit
is freed automatically. However, if one of the other conjurers goes
unconcious, the spirit is allowed a test to go free much like an ally.

Also, how does the rule of ones apply in this ritual???
