“It’s an imperfect metaphor for an intangible thing. A veil or a curtain, a barrier of sorts between our world and what’s outside. The act of summoning tears a hole in the veil and invites the outside in. It’s an act of supreme stupidity, and we summoned, and summoned, and summoned. Before the War Beneath, perhaps Abchurch’s story was just a folktale. Now it’s a calling. He called, something came.”
