Mage tn cap+ Summon Beast

How exactly does this interact? Is the maximum rank value of whatever you can summon equal based of of the TN of the manifested spell slot? Can you only summon one specific beast per instance of the spell in manifested form? Does the value of what you can summon go up as you take mage levels? Or does the manifested spell just leave it as is and treat it as a 5T spell as far as limitations?

Because Manifested Powers are each unique to the character that created them, many of those answers depend upon the specific character in question.

Some characters will have fixed summoning, where they can only summon a bear or a dog. Others will be able to summon any animal that meets the TN requirements.

Most of the time, there is no limit to how many animals may be summoned, but again, if it makes sense for the Manifested Power (perhaps the Fated became magically linked to Gorbo, Death Bear), then they might only be able to summon the one animal.

Once created, Manifested Powers do not change unless a specific abilities allows it (such as the Mage's Talents adding triggers to her Manifested Powers).

Oh I actually have a good example of this one from one of our group.

The character had a background with the 10T, namely the Yakuza like side of it, and he had a rather extensive tattoo which was also his grimoire *started as a dabbler*.  He later went into the mage pursuit and wanted to go with summoning.  He decided he wanted to summon based off his tattoos.  So we made a list of them, figured out roughly what each would be roughly with some modifications *Such as a temple dog using the hunting dog but gained construct and turning a malifaux raptor into a firebird*.  After reviewing we struck an agreement he could have a number based on his rank in pursuits *one per 3 ranks rounded up* and add an additional by taking the New Manifiestation talent.
