Generic NPCs
Locnil:
The books hints at no average time for a scene. And I believe Sanctaphrax's menthod included a mechanic where each consecutive summon per ritual has the amount of needed shifts reduced.
Locnil:
P.S. Actually, I don't get why you'd prefer complexity 8.
Mr. Death:
Presumably because Zerglings are supposed to be quick and cheap to make, and 8 shifts is easier to put together than 12.
Belial666:
Binder is a master-summoner. Summoning is all he does. Assuming he is a chest-deep focused practitioner with Lore 5, Discipline 5, Summoning Ritual, Refinement 5 (which he uses for a +5 complexity and a +5 control focus), he can pull off a 10-shift summoning rote in a single exchange. Give him an hour and he can summon a hundred plus grey men, easily.
Kemmler is a demigod-level wizard. My very conservative build of his is at 50 refresh and can pull 22-shift rotes in either evocation or thaumaturgy. He could pull summons equivalent to a black court vampire in a single exchange or heart-explode everyone in three-four parking lots simultaneously with his smallest spell.
Elena is more of a general outsider-magic practitioner. She doesn't have Kemmler's raw power (yet!!!) and doesn't specialize like Binder does. 12 shifts is not hard for her - but she does need four exchanges. 8 shifts is her minimum complexity for Outsider magic, meaning she can do it in one exchange - four times faster.
Sanctaphrax:
You know, Belial, most people don't subscribe to your assembly-line vision of thaumaturgy.
The summoning rules do have provisions for summoning groups. But I'm uncertain of their quality.
