General Overview: The Summoner
One of the first four to show up, this ability allows a user to summon monsters/things from objects. Since the user can use several objects as materials to change what kind of monster is summoned, it can be considered a crafting type ability if one wants to call it that.
Powers:
- Summon: Usually used to make monsters, many things can be used to summon different things. Additional materials can be used to change the summons or to summon modified versions. Other things like pictures can be used to summon dopplegangers, but they are often less powerful than the real version. It is hard to say if summoned creatures are actually alive, or just autonomous extensions of the summoner. They seem to have more free will than an Enchanter's golems, but they are not fully alive like a Mage's familiars. If defeated, sometimes the objects used to summon the thing will appear where the summoned object was. Summons can be cancelled.
- Fusion: Summons can be temperarily combined into more powerful monsters. They can also be defusioned if needed.
- Modify: The ability to modify summons with materials, such as adding fire element to a slime with some Fire Energy.
Recipes: Summoners usually only use their ability to make monsters.
Ability Levels:
- 1. This summoner is able to summon creatures/monsters from basic carvings, but not statues. They can also use some objects made for basic summoning of objects.
- 2. This summoner can use Statues and Carvings to summon things, as well as things made for summoning objects. Some other objects may be used, but the result may not be very strong or useful.
- 3. This summoner can use any sort of normal summoner type materials, as well as some of the more unique or odd objects to summon things. They can use an additional material or two to modify the summon, or using two carvings at once for a unique monster/creature. Sometimes pictures and things can be used, but they have to be really good for it to work.
- 4. This summoner can use most Summoning materials, and many non-summoning materials. They can modify summons by using extra materials or enhancements, and can temperarily fusion summons together for more powerful things. This level allows for two carvings or a carving and a statue to be used together for a different summon to happen. Many other things like pictures or other objects can be used, but not everything works.
- 5. This summoner can use all the normal summoning materials, and pretty much anything else within reasonable limits to summon things. Two statues or carvings can be paired together for a unique summon, and can be powered up with additional materials. Multiple summons can be temporarily fusion-ed together for an even more powerful summon. Other things can be used, even things like food or toys, though the results can vary a lot.
Great Hero/Legendary skill level: A skill level so high, only very rare "chosen one" or "great hero" people possess it.
- 6. This summoner can summon multiple monsters from a single summoning, or use a single material to power up multiple summons. Fusion abilities are so strong, this individual can even temporarily fuse with summons! Almost anything can be used, including some objects that are not supposed to (objects enhanced by other powers that would normally prevent them from being used.) With the right materials, this person could even summon a "Boss Monster" with limited capabilities to summon other similar monsters. This kind of summoner could even summon something that could temporarily give others summoning abilities.
Impossible/Mythical Skill Level: A skill level beyond any possible skill level known. myths and rumors say that objects/monsters summoned by this individual exist somewhere, though that could be false...
- 7. This summoner is so powerful, they can summon a whole army from a single thing or use anything to summon something, even if it's something that couldn't normally be used (like nothing for example). This summoner can temperarily fusion monsters with people to grant them new abilities, or summon objects so powerful they can grant certain abilities.

Main Materials:
- Carvings: Wooden carvings of things. These are made in such a way that they can be used for summoning. Carvings are not that powerful, so the thing summoned is usually a weaker version than if a statue was used.
- Statues: Stone statues of things. These are made in such a way that they can be used for summoning.
- Pictures, drawings, etc: Can be used for summoning with varied results. These often lead to weaker monsters than usual.
Other Materials:
- Magic Circles: Used as a material while summoning to change or modify the summon. Sometimes the summon can be slightly different, or it might modify it in some other way, depending on the Magic circle used.
- Other things: Used to powerup monsters usually.Although they can be used to summon, they are not a main source of monsters.
