The explanation of Conjuration in Amber Diceless Roleplaying can be a little confusing, so Leslie Lightfoot created a write-up that broke down the rules more simply. It is reprinted below with permission.

Conjuration can be used in one of two different ways –
- one can either conjure a mundane item or creature from ‘nothingness’ – or –
- one can empower an already existent natural item or creature with fantastic abilities.
One cannot do both.
1) Conjuring an Item or Creature –
- Single-Realm Item or Creature (GM Note – If removed from Realm of creation, a Single-Realm Item or Creature will remain contiguous / functioning for 6 hours after removal) –
1 hour
- (GM Note – One cannot Conjure an Item or Creature that can travel between Realms permanently. One must locate an existing Creature or locate / make / build / forge / construct a natural Item, and subsequently empower it to do so.)
2) Empowering an Item or Creature –
- Conjured Item or Creature –
- Single-Realm Item or Creature (GM Note – If removed from Realm of creation, a Single-Realm Item or Creature will remain contiguous / functioning for 6 hours after removal) –
1 minute per point in Qualities
1 minute per point in Powers
- Single-Realm Item or Creature (GM Note – If removed from Realm of creation, a Single-Realm Item or Creature will remain contiguous / functioning for 6 hours after removal) –
- (GM Note – One cannot empower a Conjured Item or Creature that can travel between Realms permanently. One must locate an existing Creature or locate / make / build / forge / construct a natural Item, and subsequently empower it to do so.)
- Natural Item or Creature –
Preparing / infusing Item or Creature – ½ hour (required)- Single-Realm Empowerment of Item or Creature (GM Note – If removed from Realm of creation, a Single-Realm Item or Creature’s empowerment will last for 6 hours after removal) –
10 minutes per point in Qualities
1 hour per point in Powers - Cross-Realm Empowerment of Item or Creature (GM Note – these are permanent empowerments) –
100 minutes per point in Qualities
10 hours per point in Powers
- Single-Realm Empowerment of Item or Creature (GM Note – If removed from Realm of creation, a Single-Realm Item or Creature’s empowerment will last for 6 hours after removal) –
