Well, there are always Lore based assessments, but yeah, additional library uses are good.

Not shure about that, what if he where bound?
Would he need to give the information for free?

Also, to summon a Demon you need it's True Name. Personally, I'd make that alot harder to find the higher the Demon's Refresh, since it's got more power and resources to suppress that sort of thing if it wants. And the -20 Refresh ones who want to be summoned and bound? Not a good idea to summon one of those.

It works for Demons where you need an True Name.
Magical Constructs are more problematic (and work like Summons) you could have an -30 Refresh Construct with an crap Conviction.
My solution would be (and I'm thinking for using it with Demons too) Refresh cost x 2 is the base Summoning (Constructing) Ritual.
(Containmend and Binding Ritual would be still based of Conviction)
Deadmanwalking:
As a rule, you need to summon a spirit to possess a Construct to use it. I'd rule you need a really big, powerful, strong willed, spirit to actually animate anything with anything approaching -30 Refresh.
Now there is also the AI method...but again, I'd go with anything that potent rapidly gaining an impressive will and likely intellect.
Korwin:
The Giant Scarecrow -25 refresh cost (in shapeshifting variant)
Conviction of Average or Fair
