Summon
- By paying a steep amount of Spell Reserves or burning an equivalent amount of Alkahest, a Summoner may Cant a description and spiritual embodiment of what they wish to Summon over a number of minutes until they have described it as thoroughly as possible. An existing Spirit may be cast upon to "evolve" them into a new form, subtracting their initial cost.
- Summoners may only summon Spirits of the Metaphor matching their Summoning Arcana.
- The Summoner must possess any relevant Trade Skill(s) for shaping Summons; a Novice could only make a 'stick' or a 'box' and so on.
- Summoners must know any Skills or Arcana they add to their Summoned Spirits.
- Summoners must know any Cantrip(s) they add to their creations, and their Craft Skills must be of an equivalent tier to impart them.
- Conditions of Cantrips may be manipulated with equivalent-tier skill in Ensorcelling.
- Summoners must know at least Apprentice-tier Smithing skill to create armor or weapons other than a stick.
- Summoners use Mysticism for the organic complexity of Spirits, and Sculpting for the inorganic complexities.
- No form of Summoning works with Canting bonuses; instead, Canting subjectively aids with the accuracy of a Summon.
- Should the Summoner describe something too complex, then the spell will burn through their Spell Reserves until they enter Major Mageburn, assembling an inferior version of what was described from what was given.
Invoke
- A Conjurer may Invoke a Conjuration they have previously summoned in-character as an Inefficient Cast of the total in order to call upon it quickly.
Example: If the Conjuration costs 1.40 Spell Reserves, then it will cost 1.33x this amount for a total of 1.86 Spell Reserves of the tier it is cast at.
Grand Convocation
- By paying a steep amount of Spell Reserves or burning an equivalent amount of Alkahest, a Summoner may call upon many copies of the same Summon, or else arm themselves or others within a radius with a raiment of equipment. This spell has a long channeling time, but each additional Summon beyond the first only costs 0.66x or 2/3 the total amount.
Suffuse
- A Summoner may additionally Suffuse a Summoned Object or Spirit with more Metaphor, lengthening the duration of its existence.
Contract
- Mystics may contract with a Summoned Spirit by offering it ten times the Alkahest worth of Spell Reserves that it cost to cast, treating it like a Hired Hand or possibly a CNPC if it possesses the Intelligent Trait.
Ritual of Communion
- Communion involves Canting Metaphor at any Spirit without sapience they have Summoned through whichever methods they have to share information such as speech, allowing the Summoner to direct their Spirits as they wish. Those with intelligence such as Spirits with the Sapient Trait or else Cambion will merely feel a strong suggestion which might aid in fighting cohesively. This is an Efficient Cast.
Ritual of Unity
- Willing Spirits may be pulled into themselves by Summoners, overlaying their body. By Uniting with a Spirit, a Summoner will attain its abilities, size, and biological properties where beneficial for a time.
Ritual of Banishment
- Summoners may Cant to "Banish" specific Spirits at any distance within their line of sight or ability to sense periodically such as Scrying. Other mages with Summoning or Syphon may impart their Spell Reserves towards the one who began the ritual.
- Rakshasa cannot be Banished this way, for reasons unknown.
