The question is why? What's wrong with just summoning a miscellaneous acid spewing demonic blob from one of the Chaos Spheres? What benefit does your game or you Melnibonean sorcerer gain from it being a genuine 100% Gloranthan Gorp rather than simply something uncannily similar?
I just don't see the point.
