==Description==

A group of commonly-encountered spells for contacting Mythos creatures, monsters, or deities, summoning and/or binding lesser creatures, or calling Mythos deities to the caster's presence and dismissing the deity.

===Contact/Contact Deity===
Common to most versions of Call of Cthulhu, these two spells allow wizards to contact either monsters, or deities:
* '''Contact''' - opens communication with one or more members of a Mythos race, perhaps in a vision, dream, or telepathically
* '''Contact Deity''' - opens communication with a Mythos deity, perhaps in a vision, dream, or telepathically

Some suggested variant names for "Contact" spells might have names like "Commune", "Commerce", "Conjure", "Call Up", "Channel", "Covenant", "Pact", "Concord", "Compact", and the like.

===Summon/Bind===
Common to most versions of Call of Cthulhu, these two spells allow wizards to summon monsters, and/or bind summoned monsters:
* '''Summon''' - summons one or more members of a Mythos race to the caster's presence
* '''Bind''' - compels a summoned creature to obedience

Some suggested variant names for "Call" spells might have names like "Call Forth", "Bring Forth", "Bring Up", "Call Down", "Invoke", "Summon", "Conjure", etc., and for "Bind" spells, names like "Compel", "Command", "Abjure", "Beguile", "Tame", and the like.

In Seventh Edition Call of Cthulhu, '''Summon/Bind''' may appear together in the same source (tome, etc.) as part of the same spell, or may be separate - "Separate Binding" (for example, a deranged cultist might provide just the Summon portion of a spell in a tome, without the Bind portion, leaving an unsuspecting caster in the unfortunate situation of summoning an unbound monster which resents being summoned, with no way to bind it into obedience!)

===Dismissal===
A D20 Call of Cthulhu spell for dismissing a summoned monster:
* '''Dismissal''' - dismisses summoned members of a Mythos race from the caster's presence. ([[D20 Call of Cthulhu]])

===Call/Dismiss===
Common to most versions of Call of Cthulhu, these two spells allow a wizard to try to call a [[Great Old One]], [[Outer God]], [[Elder God]], [[Other God]], [[Avatar]], or the like voluntarily to the wizard's presence (a risky idea), or to try to dismiss such a being when it doesn't wish to leave (which is also risky, though perhaps less risky than allowing it to stay):
* '''Call Deity''' - a perilous spell that may voluntarily bring a Mythos deity to the caster's presence
* '''Dismiss Deity''' - involuntarily dismisses a Mythos deity from the summoner's presence, should it refuse to leave

Some suggested variant names for "Dismiss" spells might have names like "Banish", "Repel", "Dispel", "Cast Out", "Exile", "Exorcise", "Turn", and the like; for "Call" spells names like "Call Forth", "Petition", "Evoke", "Conjure", "Invoke", "Bring Forth", "Bring", etc.

===Other Variants===
Some supplements and scenarios include some distinctive variations on these types of spells; here are some examples.
