Eldritch Summoning

"It's a key. That key opens a portal to another world that overlaps our own... it's a key that summons demons from another dimension that have manipulated the dark side of human history since ancient times. The five members of the Godhand."
― Guts explaining what a Behelit is. (Berserk Vol.2)
"From the dawn of time, terrible impossibilities have spawned from the darkness between stars, not hating life, simply being indifferent to it. We are as ants to these abominations, these demented Gods. I use this term as this is what they are called in older texts. You will not find any biblical God here. Or perhaps you will, I do not know. The use of ‘Gods’ here is this specific form of creature, born from the primordial chaos of this reality, not just a powerful being. Simply powerful beings do not reach the uncaring depths of cruelty and depravity that the Gods do. We will bring them here and bind them. Bind them until their bloodlust is sated, until all but one is dead. Always a single God remains: the Victor, who returns to whence they came as the only God remaining. But their primordial chaos eventually spawns more Gods, more twisted angels and demons. And so it all comes to pass again. Our vigilance must be constant, for a new Victor must be found again and again. We will leave a mark in creation, but it will fade. It will heal."
― Reverend Hawshore explaining what he and the Victory Society intends to do to Daleport. (SCP-1936)

The power to summon eldritch beings. Technique of Eldritch Being Manipulation. Variation of Mythic Summoning.

Also Called[]

  • Iä Shub-Niggurath (Overlord)
  • Outer-God Calling /Summoning
  • Lovecraftian/ Unfathomable/ Unorthodox Entity Assemble
  • Extra-Dimensional Entity Beckoning
  • The Call of R'lyeh

Capabilities[]

The user can summon strange, illogical, cosmic beings from either the deepest parts of space or beyond the boundaries of this universe. These Eldritch Beings from the great gulfs of infinity may be helpful to the summoner, e.g., giving them access to the secrets of creation, but one has to be cautious about summoning them, for there might be consequences like the world ending or the cosmic order of things being temporarily disrupted.

Applications[]

Techniques[]

  • Omniscience (If the Lovecraftian Deity is Omniscient, it's possible they can bestow that unto the user. An example of this would be Yog-Sothoth)
  • Apocalypse Inducement (Otherworldly Cosmic Abominations aren't apart of the natural order of things and as such they are often brought here from beyond the edge of reality and outer space to end this world or the universe in their own strange ways)
  • Forbidden Knowledge (Some Eldritch Gods possess knowledge that isn't meant for mortals to know and like omniscience, it can be bestowed but usually for a terrible price. Just like how cultists summoned 'the haunter in the dark' for forbidden knowledge of the cosmos, it always has a price.)
  • Wish Manifestation/Absolute Wish
  • Eldritch Conversion (Can summon unnatural beings/energies to convert others into abominations or summon their Eldritch masters by converting others)
  • Eldritch Magic/Science (By gaining favor from the "gods")

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • Banishment/Contract Nullification/Nature Manipulation/Summoning Negation
  • Summoning Lovecraftian deities doesn't guarantee anything good will happen. You will most likely die a horrible death or wish you did.
  • There is a chance the entity could be dangerous to the universe to which they are summoned.
  • This Power may have exceptions to what kind of outsider entity that can be called.
  • Summoning Outsider Entities may very likely take immense amounts of power.
  • Summoning such an unfathomably powerful being may require a sacrifice, such as a innocent pure soul or blood .
  • There's a chance the ritual may not work for example if 'the stars aren't right' or the Lovecraftian God ignores the call . Consider yourself blessed if they ignore it .
  • It's always possible for the Outer-God to be hungry for a mortal snack upon being summoned .

Trivia[]

  • The Consequences for summoning the otherworldly outsiders are usually madness, reality itself breaking down or being distorted by said god's presence, having your soul be devoured, eternal suffering, mass hallucinations, the replacement of all religions, plagues, witness to profane truths no human was ever meant to know, biological reconstitution, death of all reason and logic, and baldness.
  • Depending on the User some may even be able to summon any eldritch abomination from across fiction such as the Outer God's (Cthulhu Mythos), Bill Cipher (Gravity Falls) and beings like the Scarlet King (SCP Foundation).
  • While Eldritch Abominations usually bring harm and damnation to summoners usually by their mere presence in the same way your body kills viruses ,there are eldritch horrors that are "benevolent" as far as our limited minds can understand but in actuality they have the morality of a hurricane . In other words even if an eldritch being that's summoned is considered good it won't necessarily be our version of good or their goals by pure chance of luck happened to align with ours .
  • Please note that most user's of this power are usually Cultists or "Magic" User's that are attempting to bring their god to this dimension or from the deep dark depths of outer space ,which typically is a common thing in many Cosmic Horror Stories . They usually do this through some ritual, super-science or an otherworldly object of unholy power like 'the necronomicon' . It's a common trope in H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to have an Apocalyptic Cult that'll attempt to awaken their gods or summon them from another dimension beyond our limited understanding of the cosmos to help end the world or grant their desires .
