[So this guy's technically dead... Perhaps he should have guessed as much, from the part about such spirits being legends and figures of "history." Anyway.

You're right; I've got no interest in dying. Nor would I need to be the one summoned.

When a being is summoned from one dimension to another, it creates a momentary connection between those two places, one that bypasses what normally divides them. Under the right circumstances, a skilled sorcerer may be able to take advantage of that connection.
