 * description=This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider, elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability.

The spell conjures a fiendish scorpion to aid you in battle.
