• fixedSummoningWaves: The summoner summons up to three demons, each one drawn from the given tier list. Once completionTest is fulfilled, the rift will summon the next wave. These waves are executed in the listed order, ie. item[0] -> item[1] -> item[2] etc. Ends once all waves are complete.

• randomSummoningWaves: Similar to fixedSummoningWaves, but will loop upon completion, instead of stopping.

• fixedSummonGroups: List of groups that is sequentially run (?); the function of this summoning behaviour is not fully understood at this time.

• randomSummonPool: One the preceding fixedSummoningWaves or fixedSummonGroups is complete, the summoning rift will randomly cycle through the defined aiSpawnTypeLists and summon.

   

• completionTest: All idSummoningTemplates in the vanilla game use SUMMON_CONDITIONS_ALL_DEAD. While SUMMON_CONDITIONS_FIXED_TIMER, or SUMMON_CONDITIONS_WEIGHTED_TIMER are also options, it is currently not understood how to use those conditions.

Note that once the summoning rift is created, these behaviours will execute on their own, as long as the Summoner remains alive. If killed, the rift will close, and anything defined by the idSummoningTemplate will stop immediately.
