Banishment
The caster is able to cause all summoned creatures, familiars, animal companions, and Outsiders that serve a master in the area of effect to be destroyed. Outsiders can be banished up to a total of twice the caster's level in HD; summoned creatures, familiars and animal companions are not limited by it.

How it works
- It reaches 10 metres around the target spot. Only creatures that serve a master are affected: outsiders with no master are not.
- Each creature makes a Will save against your normal spell DC +6, and spell resistance can stop it.
- The pool of hit dice (2 x your caster level) is spent on outsiders only. Summons, familiars and companions are destroyed however many there are.
- Summons that cannot be dispelled are not affected.
