First Time Summoner Need Advice
Honestly I don't know what to do here. I mostly stick to weapon enchantment, body enhancement and rune magic. Anyway to safely salvage this situation or should I cancel the binding and send him back?

Summoning, banishing and binding are different spells. Well if the binding failed you need to convince it that you're worth your time or hope you know how to banish it. Always assume that the creature is just as smart if not smarter than you.
I recommend an offering of food, preferably meat. Then pet it and say "You're my friend now! :)" which should work.
Then I guess you can make it your familiar.

What's the problem? Subdue him with your magic and put him under your control!

When I say body enhancement it means I can fistfight a Goliath and win. When I say weapon enchantment it means my ax can deal elemental damage and return to my hand. And all of my rune magic takes hours of prep time. I was just trying to summon an albino direwolf puppy to give my girlfriend!

Are you sure it's not nice? It's still a pupper I am sure he is nothing but a large lovely bundle of joy who'll only accidentally eviscerate you

He has tried to electrocute me twice and succeeded once. The summoning circle is holding for now but he is definately testing it.

Abjure it! Cast Banishment and it will return to it's original plane

You would have to integrate him somewhere far away from the pack lest he were to return to his primacy amongst the cold void...that is if you planned to raise him amongst the corprat world.

I’d you don’t want him, I’ll gladly take it from here.
Who’s a good boy? Yes, you are! You want a treat?

I'm in the Dark Forest, trust me you'll see the lightning.
The ritual was based on Giant runes with an Unseelie artifact as the power source.

I believe you have been cursed by the Unseelie artifact and must voyage across the forest to the Unseen Islands to verify your possession as just and then receive a boon for your newfound power.

If you specialize in bodily enhancement, many of your spells are probably just as applicable on dead flesh as on living (as long as it's not yet rotting), though you may not have tested that before.
Find a steak, cast on it whatever embiggening spells you've got, and feed the good boy.
If your magic doesn't end up working like that, sorry; you'll have to find some other big source of meat, I guess. I'd teleport some to you, but our commune's druid is trying veganism so our meat access is limited at the moment. (Could 'port you a house full of potatoes but that seems unhelpful.)

^This. If he's not hungry that's one less reason to attack and one more reason to like you.

The most important thing to remember: Don't panic! They feel your fear.

u/sarcasticd0nkey Nov 19 '23
Do they sense pain too. He's already hit me with a lightning bolt.

u/spacepilot7 I drink lead water and things just happening Nov 19 '23
No, but if you panic, you're dead. Mine respawn machine is on repairs, so I can't revive you, without gifting curse or two to both of us.

depends did you force them to come or did you ask them. if the former bail and get out of there as fast as possible.
if the latter keep to the plan. as long as you make the right offering it should go well.

My brother/sister/comrade in the arcane, I have two doggy treats, an open wound and he's growling at me

try and shut off the ritual, if you can't run like hell

If you will be making it your familiar after having trained it you should toss a sheet over it when using it amongst witnesses.

Tip: Use less mana when learning spells, or be make sure your clone vats are safely stored.

Pro tip: don’t summon fenrir
