Summon Egg is a spell that summons a creature egg projectile. It will fly in an arc and crack open when hitting an enemy or hard surface, birthing a random Charmed monster according to the type of egg summoned. The monster will follow you and fight at your side unless you hit it, upon which it will retaliate before returning to its friendly state.

The spell randomly summons with equal probability ordinary, red, toasty, and slimy eggs. Wiggling and chilly eggs cannot be summoned.

Tips

• With only 2 charges, this spell is of very limited use.
• Creatures spawned this way will have more health than their hostile counterparts, and will not drop gold nuggets.
• Creatures spawned by this spell will attack you if you are Berserk much like how most creatures will attack their allies under the effect.
• Can be used to awaken the Gate Guardian in the Temple of the Art.
• Synergises extremely well with the Unlimited Spells perk, allowing you to rapidly create huge armies and potentially avoid any direct engagements; however, being surrounded by creatures that bleed toxic sludge and lava is obviously dangerous, even more so when you consider that this combination can encase you in toxic rock or surround the environment with damaging toxic gas.
• If multiple eggs are summoned at the same time (using Multicasts, a wand with Spells/Cast of greater than 1, or otherwise), they will all be of the same type.
• Used as the target of Add Trigger or related spells along with a payload, the summon is always one or two Hurtta. With Add Trigger, the payload is not emitted, while Add Timer and Add Expiration Trigger work normally. Since the hatching process is not instantaneous, Add Expiration Trigger's payload is released before the Hurtta finish hatching; to synchronize spell release with hatching completion, the egg's payload can be set to another spell with an expiration trigger and a lifetime of 18 (or slightly more) frames.
• The Charmed effect persists even through Polymorph effects. With sufficient care not to polymorph oneself (as well as some luck/planning/tedium), Unstable Polymorphine can be used to obtain slow, renewable healing from summons transformed into Parantajahiisi (Hiisi Healer). Polymorphed summons can drop gold nuggets, so such a setup (or one with Chaotic Polymorphine) may also be a source of gold.
