Encyclopedia
Nowhere is the laziness of wizards better exemplified than in this spell. Not content with being able to move mountains or burn forests with an incantation, the modern mage must also be able to summon his minions or retrieve his fallen pen without stirring from his desk.
Description
Can be cast on any square. Line of sight isn't important, but you must either recall the items at the location, or sense the creature there. If there's a creature at the location that you can sense, it will be teleported to an adjacent square unless it has Position Fixed. Otherwise if you can see or recall items at the location, they will be dropped on your square.
Tips
This is one of the very few ways to pick up Boulders, and it's worth collecting those in case you eventually get access to Stone to Flesh (perhaps from a Utility Staff). The one other perhaps slightly more effective method to pick up boulders is to use Blink in order to teleport onto the boulders, and then picking them up. It's also handy for grabbing artifacts from ghost islands and the like, but try not to bring a Ghost along! Another use is to retrieve a wandering pet, especially when combined with telepathy or Track. It can also retrieve items which have been buried or dropped into pools of water, lava, or acid, but you need to have seen the item there before you can Fetch it. (That's an issue when filling bottles!)
Note: This spell will not place creatures onto unwalkable squares (walls, acid, lava etc) so using it with no available adjacent squares (say, after using Sunfire) will put the creature on next nearest floor tile,
