Ok, here's a sheet I made using Frank's idea on summoning. I've only playtested it a bit, so give your comments (Yes, I know, not much fluff but I'm working on that), this template assumes 2 things, A) Your GM will allow the Aztec Tradition (Hermetic works good too), and B) He'll allow the Aztec god of death as your Mentor Spirit (Dark King can replace this):

400BP
Name: Kortez
Race: Dwarf
Type: Mystic Adept (Aztec)

-Attributes
B:7
A:2
R:3
S:3
C:2
I:2
L:3
W:7

E:1
M:6

-Skills
(G)Sorcery 2
(G)Stealth 2
Summoning 7(Spirit Of Man)


-Qualities
Focused Concentration (1)
Mentor Spirit (Mictlantecuhtli/+2 Ritual Spellcasting/+2 Spirit of Man/-4 Spirit of Beast/May not wear armor)
Aptitude(Summoning)
Astral Beacon
SINner (Criminal)
Combat Paralysis

-Spell
Powerbolt
Heal
Inc Bod
Inc Will

-Foci
Summ 3
Power 2

--------------
Step One: Choose Spirit Type (Spirit Of Man)
Step Two: Choose Spirit Force (F12)
Step Three: Opposed Test Magic+Summoning+Misc vs Force (6(Ma)+7(Su)+2(PoFo)+2(MeSp)+2(Spec) vs 12(For))
Step Four: Calculate Net Hits (Average 4-8)
Step Five: Calculate Total Force Hits (Average 2-6)
Step Six: Note Services: Net Hits (Average 2-4 Services)
Step Seven: Calculate Drain: Spirit Hits*2, Min 2 (Average 4-12P)
Step Eight: Damage Resistance Test: Willpower+Body Hits-DV Boxes (7(Will)+7(Bod)+3(SumFo)+1(FocCon), average around 4-8)

I think I got all of it.


Edited: Found out Mystics gotta choose powers or slinging...Quite annoying, but its just -6 Damage Resistance Test dice. Damage doesn't matter here as your F12 Spirit of Man throws 24 dice for his F24 Heal spell. Wee.
