"I always liked the fact that he just sort of found you. There was no mechanism of control over him; he did as he pleased. Personally, I think it’s scarier if some monster finds you at random, unbeknownst to you, than if you summon it."

Amen.

I hate ritual summonings. Plus I can't help but wonder why a bunch of words would summon anything. I say words all the time and no one, normal or supernatural, seems to care.
