not rule out the use of certain spells that the subject may have prepared

+ detail: "Casting a <i>gate</i> spell has two effects. First, it
creates an interdimensional connection between your plane of existence and
a plane you specify, allowing travel between those two planes in either
direction. <p class=sub>Second, you may then call a particular individual
or kind of being through the gate. The <i>gate</i> itself is a circular
hoop or disk from 5 to 20 feet in diameter (caster’s choice), oriented in
the direction you desire when it comes into existence (typically vertical
and facing you). It is a two-dimensional window looking into the plane you
specified when casting the spell, and anyone or anything that moves through
is shunted instantly to the other side. <p class=sub>A <i>gate</i> has a
front and a back. Creatures moving through the gate from the front are
transported to the other plane; creatures moving through it from the back
are not. <p class=sub><i>Planar Travel</i>: As a mode of planar travel, a
<i>gate</i> spell functions much like a <i>plane shift</i> spell, except
that the <i>gate</i> opens precisely at the point you desire (a creation
effect). Deities and other beings who rule a planar realm can prevent a
<i>gate</i> from opening in their presence or personal demesnes if they so
desire. Travelers need not join hands with you—anyone who chooses to step
through the portal is transported. A <i>gate</i> cannot be opened to
another point on the same plane; the spell works only for interplanar
travel. <p class=sub>You could position a <i>gate</i> in a hallway in order
to absorb any attack or force coming at you by shunting it to another
plane. Whether the denizens of that plane appreciate this tactic is, of
course, another matter. <p class=sub>You may hold the gate open only for a
brief time (no more than 1 round per caster level), and you must
concentrate on doing so, or else the interplanar connection is severed. <p
class=sub><i>Calling Creatures</i>: The second effect of the gate spell is
to call an extraplanar creature to your aid (a calling effect). By naming a
particular being or kind of being as you cast the spell, you cause the gate
to open in the immediate vicinity of the desired creature and pull the
subject through, willing or unwilling. Deities and unique beings are under
no compulsion to come through the gate, although they may choose to do so
of their own accord. This use of the spell creates a gate that remains open
just long enough to transport the called creatures. This use of the spell
has an XP cost (see below). <p class=sub>If you choose to call a kind of
creature instead of a known individual—for instance, a bearded devil or a
ghaele eladrin—you may call either a single creature (of any HD) or several
creatures. You can call and control several creatures as long as their HD
total does not exceed your caster level. In the case of a single creature,
you can control it if its HD do not exceed twice your caster level. A
single creature with more HD than twice your caster level can’t be
controlled. Deities and unique beings cannot be controlled in any event. An
uncontrolled being acts as it pleases, making the calling of such creatures
rather dangerous. An uncontrolled being may return to its home plane at any
time. <p class=sub><i>A controlled creature can be commanded to perform a
service for you. Such services fall into two categories</i>: immediate
tasks and contractual service. Fighting for you in a single battle or
taking any other actions that can be accomplished within 1 round per caster
level counts as an immediate task; you need not make any agreement or pay
any reward for the creature’s help. The creature departs at the end of the
spell. <p class=sub>If you choose to exact a longer or more involved form
of service from a called creature, you must offer some fair trade in return
for that service. The service exacted must be reasonable with respect to
the promised favor or reward; see the lesser planar ally spell for
appropriate rewards. (Some creatures may want their payment in “livestock”
rather than in coin, which could involve complications.) Immediately upon
completion of the service, the being is transported to your vicinity, and
you must then and there turn over the promised reward. After this is done,
the creature is instantly freed to return to its own plane. <p
class=sub>Failure to fulfill the promise to the letter results in your
being subjected to service by the creature or by its liege and master, at
the very least. At worst, the creature or its kin may attack you. <p
class=sub><i>Note</i>: When you use a calling spell such as gate to call an
air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it
becomes a spell of that type. For example, gate is a chaotic and evil spell
when you cast it to call a demon. <p class=sub><i>XP Cost</i>: 1,000 XP
(only for the calling creatures function)."
