Yes, but if you can forbid arbitrary things then that's effectively the same. "No nudity, and no clothing unless at least one garment says 'Hi Timothy!' in English."

[Alicorn]

I can't remember if this has been gone into already, but what happens in cases of e.g. "I summon the fairy John Smith"? When there are multiple people who fit the specification of the personal circle, what do?

[Nemo]

If you have sufficiently specific requirements, a random summons could work as an individual one. If instead of "hi Timothy" it's a twelve-digit number... I forgot what this was supposed to be useful for.

[Moriwen]

As an adjunct to Kappa's question: what counts as a daeva's 'name' for this purpose?

[DanielH]

What is the traditional way to do a repeater summons for a demon?

[Moriwen]

[DanielH]

He did: linguistics department and the woman he built a house for
