Summoning
History of summoning.
Summoning magic is a magic branch dedicated to summoning. Summoning magic used to be widely practiced but in the wars of ancient times summoners were used a lot in the armies and many lost their lives. After this summoning magic lost Most of its users because there was no one left to pass the knowledge to the next generations. But there are a few villages that still practice summoning magic. It is very rare though to find these villages. and usually these villages each specialize in different forms of summoning. It is widely believed that summoning magic is extinct.Forms of summoning.
There used to be many forms of summoning but a lot of these were lost over the centuries. Now there are only a handful of forms of summoning.Magic summoning.
There is the form of summoning that uses the user's own magic to create a magic circle in which the creature or in some villages even objects will appear. The monsters summoned this way to have no will of their own they will do exactly as ordered and then disappear.magic tool summoning.
There is the form to use a wand or other magic tool with a magic stone and a summoning circle placed in the tool which uses the mana in the air to activate the summoning magic, not the user's own magic. This form of summoning doesn't require any training in summoning magic or even have any other magic ability. All that is needed is to have a small amount of magic to start the tool. These tools are highly sought after by nobility they sell for a very high price depending on what the tool can summon. The monsters summoned this way just like the form discussed before this can only summon a monster temporarily.Contracted summons.
The form of summoning magic that was mostly used is that of contracted monsters. This requires like the name implies for the summoner to make a contract with a monster. This is a lot like the monster tamers who also make contracts with a monster. The big difference is that tamers always have their monsters with them and summoners don't. The way these contract works is that they have to create a link with the monster with their magic. This link is made with the user's magic. The biggest difference from tamers is that this requires the summoner to put a small magic circle on the monster, this can either be put directly on the body of the monster, or a small accessory like a bracelet or piece of armor. This way of summoning can be activated by either a magic tool or with the summoner's own magic power. For this form, it is also possible to contract multiple different monsters and summon them at the same time.Ceremonial summoning.
The form of magic that is most feared is ceremonial summoning. this form of summoning is feared because its strength is still unknown. This form usually requires a large magic circle to be made and activated by multiple mages. It is said that this type of magic can even summon one of the ancient dragons. another way this can be done is by carving a magic circle into a person with a lot of magic power. When this magic circle is used it can even cost the person's life and most of the time the person has no say in this. It is also possible that during the process of activating the magic the person will lose their mind, and will be unable to see the difference between friend and enemy and to just attack everyone.The legend
A legend says that there was a single ceremonial summon that can summon an entire army. This magic circle is carved into a person the stress of the event of carving can cause so much stress to a person that it is said that they would usually forget everything about themselves and won't know who they are or what just happened. This magic will take all of the power of that person to activate and control. Once activated it will summon an entire army of monsters. it is said that if the person has enough magic to control it the monsters will listen to his every command and will be unstoppable. But if they can't control it they will be consumed by the magic slowly turning their eyes black and losing control over their body. ones they have lost control all monsters will turn into undead and won't listen to any commands and will kill whatever they come across. It is believed this spell was lost long ago. This spell was called The summons of war.Effect
