Summoning

Different types of summoning.

• Trained animal summoning: Beastmasters, hunters and rangers have the ability to charm/capture animals and train them to follow their command in battle. Commands will take time and skill and low level characters will need to use their every turn to make the animal do what they want, later however the animal will stay at course and commands will be quicker giving the characters to command several animals at once or support the fight on their own. Beastmasters are of course the strongest ones and can command up to 5 animals in battle at high levels, hunters and rangers can command up to 3 animals in battle at high level. Even though there is a limit of how many in combat animals they can have they can still charm and capture more animals to train and have at their disposal, giving them opportunities to be more diverse and approach any given situation with the right force.
• Elemental summoning: Elemental mages can at high level summon a powerful elemental to do their bidding. However to control such a powerful being the mage needs the support from other elemental mages to boost their power, all mages will still be able to move and must keep moving to stay in range of each other and the elemental, or they will lose their control of it. At least two mages are required to summon an elemental but the more mages that work together the more powerful the elemental will be. Elemental summoning lasts for a limited amount of time.
• Demon summoning: Warlocks will use their arcane abilities to summon evil demons which they will lock in their control, once summoned a demon will struggle to get free and this requires the warlocks to concentrate on the demon and their lock. Higher level warlocks can summon stronger demons and at a high level they will be able to turn themselves into demons to become powerful fighters in battle. Finally at a very high level warlocks can turn themselves into demon-kings which allow them to command another powerful demon to join the battle. A demon can only be controlled for a short amount of time and will therefore have to be banned before it is too late.
• Undead reanimation and summoning: Necromancers have the ability to reanimate slain enemies on the battlefield to do their bidding. At lower levels necromancers can only reanimate the skeletons for a short time but higher levels gives more substance to their reanimation which allows them to create zombies, fleshy ghouls or even reanimate the enemies themselves, but always only for a short period of time. At higher levels Necromancers can also summon powerful undead creature such as gargoyles, golems, vampires and with some help litches. Reanimations only lasts for a short time before the bodies collapses, summoned undead are powerful and must be banned before it is too late. To summon a powerful undead creature necromancers must build up their strength, they do this by reanimating weaker creatures.
• Nature summoning: Druids and in a smaller amount shamans can summon help from the nature. At a smaller amount in the lower levels they can summon bugs and other small wild animals to disturb the enemy, and at higher levels bigger wild animals can be summoned. The druids and shamans cannot control this animal though but only show them who are friends and who are foes. Wild animals are wild and might run away to their own at any time.
• Dragon summoning: The most powerful of all summoning is the summoning of a dragon; only a fully powered wizard with the help of at least 6 other magic users (magic class or religious class) can summon a powerful dragon that will gain attributes depending on who is there to help in the summoning. Summoning a dragon is extremely consuming and will surely kill the wizard and many of who helps him to summon, these deaths may not be resurrected again in the same battle. Once summoned a dragon will help until it has taken too much damage, however you cannot heal it or give it any direct support so make sure you are not putting it up against too much.
