It took a qualified wizard to detect a summoning in progress. It required only a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it to attempt one. Before you knew it, a three-headed Slavonic god was wreaking havoc in downtown Atlanta, the skies were raining winged snakes, and SWAT was screaming for more ammo. Ilona Andrews
About This Quote

In the Blood Verse, a summoning is an action that causes a being from another world to appear in our world. In this story, the wizard got it wrong. The wizard was looking for a dead-simple summoning, but there were so many complications. The wizard said that a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it would attempt one. I think we all know who we’re most like when we’re casually and thoughtlessly using our power and abilities.
