Default v3.04 - nation specific summons..how?

I was reading the updated [v3.04] modding manual, but I still cannot figure out that how can we add a nation specific summoning spell for a given nation. Well not that I have time to work on a mod, but it would be good to know regardless.
Let's say I would like to add a new spell what will summon xy number of hoburgs for ulm. School: conjuration [This is just an example question.. ]
Can someone explain that how can we add a spell like that? [I would prefer to see all commands what is needed with the correct numbers]

This will give "Summon Hoburgs" to all three flavors of Ulm - but, now that I try it, the spell doesn't actually work (no hoburgs appear). Anyone know what I did wrong? Or is this a bug?

I tried the new #restricted command and it works, at least for ritual summons.

Do the spells themselves work? I see that the spell appears on (and only on) the Ulm spell list, but that's it.

I've managed to get commander summons to work, and spells that summon units in battles to work. See Spelling Issues thread for examples.

What about #school 0? Change it to something else and see if that works.

#newspell
#name "Call Soul Juggler"
#descr "."
#restricted 75
#school 6
#researchlevel 1
#path 0 7
#path 1 4
#pathlevel 0 2
#pathlevel 1 3
#effect 10021
#fatiguecost 3200
#damage 2389
#nreff 1
#end

I tested this spell and it works as it should.

I tested that and you are right. I dont remember testing it in 3.01. Did it work before the patch?

So basically adding nation based rituals/summons is still bugged.

The nation-spesific summon isn't bugged. It seems it's the command for summoning creatures that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure some kind of a workaround is possible.
