Adam asked Taran Matharu:

Hello, Mr. Matharu. Can you explain the process behind summoners actually capturing demons in the first place? Also, how do these demons then get gifted on through the use of scrolls? Is each scroll specific to a set demon? How does the gifting work if another summoner already has the demon (for example, in Origins, when Charles receives his mother's Arach)? I love your books and eagerly await Battlemage. Adam.

Taran Matharu A demon must be held in place over a Summoning leather/Organic Pentacle and infused by the summoner. This is dangerous as it is hard to hold a demon in place when it is wild and the summoner generally needs to be quite close and might get injured as it struggles.

Scrolls are specific to a single demon, and the process involves a lot of chanting while the scroll is inscribed. The way it looks when a summoner already has a demon is exactly what you see in Book 1, when Fletcher watches Ignatius almost given to the albino orc by a shaman, using the same summoning scroll he uses 1000 years later.

Thanks for the support dude.
