*The below will summon YourSummonREF from wherever they are to the player. In this example, it's dealt with by a spell, but the function could be placed and/or called elsewhere. If as a spell, be sure to set the cooldown time to about 3.0 seconds so the caster can't cast it again until it's worked itself out.
