Normally magic cannot summon an a specific Servitor or a Servitor that is already instantiated. However, with the true name, this can be achieved.

			Servitors have skeletons of Truemetal. They do not eat, breath, drink, age, or get sick. They do not respond to mental compulsion except from an appropriate Integral [[Authority]]. When they manifest in the [[Shards]], they typically appear like the inhabitants of the Shard, such as appearing [[Human]] in [[Acrolon]] or [[Fey]] in [[Pelithos]].
