Summon Hero and Summon Champion are a pair of similar Instant Spells from the File:Icon Arcane.png. Both perform nearly the same function, though they have several important differences, outlined below. Both spells may only be cast on the overland map, and are intended to trigger an event where a random Hero approaches the caster to ask for employment. The same event does occur at random during the normal course of the game; Summon Hero and Summon Champion are mainly designed to force it to occur immediately.

| Effects
| - Summons one non-Champion Hero to your Summoning Circle. The summoned Hero is chosen at random from all living, non-Champion Heroes whom are not currently in your employ.
You may freely hire or dismiss the summoned Hero. Summoned Heros do not request payment for hiring, but do have an Upkeep Cost.
- Same as Summon Hero, and also:
* The summoned Hero is chosen from all living Champions, some of whom are only eligible if the caster possesses certain Spellbooks.
* If no valid Champions are found, a random non-Champion Hero will be summoned instead, as per Summon Hero.

| - Summon Hero and Summon Champion are a pair of similar Instant Spells from the File:Icon Arcane.png. Both perform nearly the same function, though they have several important differences, outlined below. Both spells may only be cast on the overland map, and are intended to trigger an event where a random Hero approaches the caster to ask for employment. The same event does occur at random during the normal course of the game; Summon Hero and Summon Champion are mainly designed to force it to occur immediately. Summon Hero has a base Casting Cost of File:Icon Mana.png . Upon casting this spell, a Hero will immediately approach the player to ask for employment. The player may accept or refuse the offer. Acceptance means that this Hero is recruited, and becomes one of the player's units. Refusal means that the Hero simply goes away. In both cases, Summon Hero has fulfilled its purpose and dissipates. The Hero that appears for hiring is selected at random. Any non-Champion Hero who has not yet been killed and is not currently under the employ of the caster may be chosen. The summoned Hero may be hired without paying any hiring costs. However he/she may require a certain Upkeep Cost, which varies from Hero to Hero. Summon Champion has a base Casting Cost of File:Icon Mana.png . This spell works the same as Summon Hero, but has a different method of choosing which Hero to summon. It chooses randomly from any Champion Heroes who have not yet been killed and are not currently under the employ of the caster. These Heroes are often far stronger and have more potential than those summoned by the Summon Hero spell - thus justifying the increased Casting Cost. Note that certain Champions require the caster to have at least one Spellbook in a given Realm. Otherwise, they are not valid targets for summoning, and will never be chosen. If all valid Champions are either dead or under the caster's employ, Summon Champion will instead behave like Summon Hero - except for the high Casting Cost which is therefore partly wasted. Note: This article refers mainly to the Summon Hero spell. It then proceeds to explain how Summon Champion is different - but only if there is any difference to mention. Everything else pertains to both spells equally.
