# Summoning Fees For a Battlemaster looking to Summon a new Champion, they have to pay both the Battlemaster who is letting their Champion’s blood be used (and who doesn’t get to keep the newly Summoned Champion, known as the Bloodgiver), and they also have to pay the Bloodwraith. The Bloodgiver decides a price that they will charge to allow a Battlemaster to use their Champion to Summon; they choose this price when adding their Champion to the Summoner’s Spellbook. There is a minimum fee but there is no maximum fee. ### Private Summoning When a Battlemaster summons from within their own Barracks with neither Champion selected from the Summoner’s Spellbook this is referred to as a Private Summoning. Please note that the Blood Fee for a Private summoning is calculated using the lowest Rnumber of the Bloodtaker and Bloodgiver (eg. using an R3 and and R25, the R3 will be used to calculate the fee). So the fee will remain the same regardless of which of the two Champions is selected as the Bloodtaker or Bloodgiver. ### Public Summoning A Battlemaster may at any time add a Champion to the Summoner’s Spellbook. They will be able to determine the Blood Fee that needs to be paid for the right to Summon with this Champion. They are able to list any fee (in USD) as long as it is equal to or greater than the Minimum Summoning fee. A Champion will remain in the Spellbook until the Summoning Cycle has completed (when all listed Champions are removed). When a Battlemaster Summons using a Champion from the Spellbook (the Bloodgiver) they will pay the Blood Fee listed by the Owner of the Bloodgiver Champion. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
