This spell is actually cast when a spellcaster prepared or regains their spells, depending upon their manner of magical recovery. The focus of girding call is any object or objects weighing less than a total of five pounds per caster level that the caster can physically hold, carry, or wear. This focus does not have to be of any special quality, but it does need to bear a special symbol placed by the caster through the use of arcane mark. A magical item can be the focus if desired.

At any time within 24 hours, the caster can speak a single word and the focus object or objects instantly teleports from their location to the caster, appearing held or worn in any way the caster wishes as a free action. This allows the caster to instantly go from unclad to fully garbed and armed with a single word. This is an immediate action, and can be done at any time the caster is not flat-footed. The object can be anywhere within 1 mile per caster level and be summoned with girding call. If the object or objects are outside this distance, the command word fails, but the spell is not expended.

While this spell is hanging, it counts as a used spell slot or cast spell. If the slot is replaced or refreshed in any way, the girding call is lost and must be recast. As with most hanging spells, the true casting time for girding call is one minute and it is ruined and lost if there are any interruptions during its casting.

There is an alternate way to cast this spell. If used this way, it is not a hanging spell and takes five minutes to cast. What this form of the spell does it attempt to summon any one item within the above weight limit. The caster has to have a clear description of the item or have seen or touched it personally. He must make a Will save to succeed at this summoning. The DC for this save is 20 for a touched item, 25 for having seen it, or 30 if only a description is known. The DC is increased by 5 if the item is attended. If the save is failed, the spell fails. If the item is attended, it automatically gets its attendant's Will save to resist this teleportation. If the spell fails, the attendant knows that the item was targeted with a spell and gets a general idea of the distance and direction of the girding call's caster.
