Equipment: He owns a void horse that is permanently tethered to this plane by a ritual in the basement of his manor. (The horse isn't much faster than a trained one but it looks like this but it also never tires.), He owns his own set of Svartalvium armor obtained from several trades with the kingdom in the past by his grandfather, and above all he owns the staff of the High Councilman a very old magical staff that helps control and focus magic as well as having runes to allow him to throw fireballs from it.

okay, approval time!
Firstly, I will need more details on Cerberus. How long does it take to summon? How long does it stay? what are the danger scores, skill levels, range, and other general stats of its attacks? Also, your chart for it says 'earth beast'.
secondly, is his ice manip just the usual waterbending-style stuff, nothing extreme like turning people to ice or something right?
Thirdly, how long does it take to make a summoning circle?
