You can spend 10 minutes to perform a ritual to reach across the boundaries of the world to call forth a companion. At the end of the ritual, the creature appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 meters and assumes the form of a companion based on your origin. Subtract an amount of mana equal to your Aptitude Bonus each time you take a rest. Your eidolon is augmented to that amount of mana.

Your eidolon bears a glowing rune that is identical to a rune that appears on your forehead as long as your eidolon is summoned. While this rune can be hidden through mundane means, it cannot be concealed through magic that changes appearance, such as shapechange or polymorph (although invisibility does conceal it as long as the spell lasts).

Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

If your eidolon is ever slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of rare materials worth 10 sp for each Aptitude Bonus, you call forth your eidolon’s spirit and use your magic to create a new body for it. You can return an eidolon to life in this manner even if you do not possess any part of its body.
