The use of this spell brings forth very potent energies to the priest's disposal. The spell actually causes part of the priest's deity to inhabit the priest. The priest will then become an avatar of the god with one of the god's aspects.
The avatar will have the powers of a demi-power and will have the priest's choice of one of the classes the deity has experience in (one of the deity's aspects). In addition to these powers, the priest still retains his own powers and abilities. If the class chosen is the same as one of the classes that the priest has, then he will have the higher of the two levels.
The priest will retain the power until the situation no longer requires it (plus a couple of rounds for mopping up), or until the avatar is killed. If the avatar is killed, the deity loses the abilities of the class for one tenth of the time that the god would normally be "dead" as if slain on his home plane.
In order to receive this spell at all, the priest must exemplary in his faith. The spell, if used, would require special sacrificing afterwards (this is the material component for the spell). Exactly when and how much depends on the god.
If the spell is used to confront another avatar or deity, then rather than having a confrontation, the deity may decide to do something else instead, such as any form of indirect help. If the deities involved are traditional enemies...
If the privilege of having this spell is misused in any way, then the offending priest will be severely punished, maybe losing the opportunity to cast this spell forever, or in a more serious transgression, losing all priest abilities forever.
The deity is not enslaved by this spell and thus does not have to answer the spell's partial summons. If the need is there, then more than likely, the spell will be answered.
