S.U.M.M.O.N.S G.U.I.D.E.L.I.N.E.S

There are no level requirements as such for obtaining summons, but there are guidelines that must be followed. The location of each summon is listed so when you wish to try and obtain a summon go that location, the admin for that world will rp with you and then begin a summon boss battle. Now depending on your combat, magic abilities you may lose the summon boss battle. It is up to the admin of that world if you obtain the summon or not, their decision is final. You can attempt the summon boss battle again once you are stronger, there are exceptions for the aeons and I'Cie.

To obtain the Aeons you must be a Yevonite, a Summoner and a citizen of Spira. Obtaining the Aeons is just like it was in FFX; you go to the temple and obtain the Aeon. Of course the Administrator of Spira will jump in with DM posts to keep the storyline going

I'Cie have special Eidolons that are tailored for them personally. To obtain this Eidolon the I'Cie must reach a point of extreme despair or hardship. At this point the summoning will reveal itself and attempt to kill it's would be master, if the I'Cie can conquer this challenge then the summoning becomes theirs.

Guardian Forces

Guardian Forces are powerful creatures that can potentially become linked to the user's mind. When mentally called upon, they appear, performing a powerful attack, before leaving. However, Unlike the Eidolons, this powerful attack is not instantaneous. It takes some time for the user to fully establish a link with these creatures, and so the attack is almost as if it were a delayed reaction. During the delay, however, the Guardian Force's energy still manages to protect the caster, replacing the caster's HP with their own. In other words, it takes a few turns to actually use a GF, but while the GF is charging all damage you take is dealt to the GF's HP, rather than your own. If the GF's HP drops to 0 before the attack is executed, the summoning is cancelled. GFs and Eidolons cannot be used in PvP battle.

Compatibility
How long it takes for a GF to be summoned is referred to its Charge Time. The Charge Time dictations how many "Actions" it will take to summon the GF. At least one "Action" each turn has to be used to charge the GF, otherwise the summoning is cancelled. Because of this, the user can't battle properly while attempting to summon a GF. This comes with some obvious benefits and drawbacks, of course. The lower the charge time, the faster the GF is summoned, and the sooner the summoner can return to battling normally. While the higher the charge time, the longer it takes, and thus the longer the GF's HP shield will protect the caster. So, whether you prefer a longer charge time or a shorter charge time is really up to the player. And that is why it is important to know how to manipulate the charge time. Charge Time is effected by your "Compatibility" with the GF. Now, what makes you more or less "Compatible" is highlighted in each GF's description.

Brothers

Then, while the opponent’s fate hangs in the balance, the brothers decide to play a game of Ro-Sham-Bo. The winning brother (usually the older, smaller), then throws the losing brother (usually the younger, older) upward, towards the earthy slab that the two had thrown just moments before. The brother then shatters the slab on which the opponent is standing, and gravity does the rest, bringing the opponent falling to the hard ground below.

Aeons

Aeons are a part of the Yevonite religion, and a key part at that. Thought to be figments of the Fayth's imagination brought to life by magic and god, they play a vital role in the destruction of Sin. The Summoners of Yevon go on a pilgrimage to each of the Temples of Spira, praying to the Fayth at each one, so that they can obtain these Aeons. Eventually, they hope to reach Zanarkand to get The Final Aeon, which is used to defeat Sin. Like Espers, they stay on the battlefield for a time after being summoned. However, unlike with Espers, the summoner is unable to do battle while the Aeon is on the field. Essentially, the Aeon takes the Summoner's place in battle, providing small stat boosts and new abilities for the summoner. Under ordinary circumstances, only followers of the Yevonite religion can obtain Aeons.

Eidolons

Eidolons are massive creatures from another realm. Because of their nature, and because of how much power is required to cross the dimensions, they can only ever appear for just a moment in battle. When summoned, they appear, perform an extremely powerful attack, and then vanish back to the realm they came from. This is often shown in the form of a cinematic attack in the games.

Black Magic

Fire: One of the basic spells that is normally found within a black mage's arsenal, while this spell is one of the weaker abilities of a black mage it is more versatile due to it's power depends on the mage. While it's uses are near endless as some people who are stuck within the wilderness will use it to light a fire, some use it to keep warm within the icy tundras, while this magic is effective against those who are branding steel or an ice elemental, while the uses of the combat is endless, some people are capable of making barriers of flames, others breathing it from their lips like a dragon. In the books of ancient, this is described as the will of the dragons, in lore it is said that the dragons passed down this gift to humans to preserve their life, if this is true it is hard to tell

Fira	+200 Magic Damage	100	Fire Element Attack, chance of inflicting the Burn status.
Firaga	+500 Magic Damage	320	Fire Element Attack, chance of inflicting the Burn status.

Blizzard: The polar opposite from the element of fire, this spell has many uses many are of destruction and it hardly has any good uses, while this spell creates a variety of things depending on the climate, from powdery razor sharp snow, to pikes of ice that can pierce through people like a tooth-pick through cheese, while of course this spell has denfensive and movement uses, while some may not see them as a possibility to the trained mind, magic has an endless possibiliy, while this ability is lored to have come from the depths of the artic, where the yeti learned to control ice and snow, they passed it onto their friends, and soon it began to spread through texts, other's say it was a blessing from Shiva.

Spell	Base Damage	Base MP Cost	Special Effects
Blizzard	+50 Magic Damage	10	Ice Element Attack, chance of inflicting the Freeze status.

Spell	Base Damage	Base MP Cost	Special Effects

Water: A spell which allows people to use water as a offensive ability, from orbs of water to geysers which break the very ground, this spell is dangerous as it poses many threats, such as drowning if they are encased in it, while the lore for this spell was that they would believe came from elves of water or even the very moon itself, which passed on it's ability to bend water to the people of many planets, they learned to harness it's untapped power.

Quake: The wraith of the very world around you, while some people call it bending of the earth, many people have learned that this spell can break metal plates, stop massive monsters and even mess up the ones who decide to fly around, this can cause small shifts within the ground and even knock people to the ground, with a more forceful nature you can send a shower of pebbles into the air or occasional chunks of rock making it potentially dangerous to both aerial and ground based foes, but aerials are far more likely to escape unharmed. Many believed this was taught by the spirits of earth such as Golem and the Minotaur brothers who believed that their element should be able to fight as well.

Spell	Base Damage	Base MP Cost	Special Effects
Quake	+100 Magic Damage	40	Earth Element Attack, unable to harm aerial targets.

Quakaga	+700 Magic Damage	400	Earth Element Attack, unable to harm aerial targets.

Aero: The spell that represents wind, it can cause blades of wind to spiral around their enemies. Many believe that in higher levels it can cause twisters of power, sending people and monsters flying away as if they were merely pawns on a chess board, this was brought to the world by what many expect were the sylphs or harpies, it always hard to tell but many notice that many aerial monsters seemed to have this attack, while it is an effective counter to earth based attacks. This is a more dangerous an dual sided spell, as it poses as much danger to it's caster as it does to it's enemy.

Spell	Base Damage	Base MP Cost	Special Effects
Aero	+100 Magic Damage	30	Wind Element Attack, chance to also damage caster's party.

Bio: A spell of toxins and sickening, this spell is known as bio, many believe it came from a sick twisted mage who wished to destroy the world around him, while he was stopped by heros, the power of the spell diminished greatly and was passed onto essences of nature such as toads and such who told the rocks who told the trees, in a way it came to a geomancer who learned from the trees and recorded, this spell is only able to be cast on one person at a time while some abilities seemed to be able to void that and spread it out, while this ability caused sickness to the caster and it seems to erode their health over time. It has also been noticed it is alot like snake venom the more they move and the quicker they move the more damage it does.

Drain: A spell which was created by power hungry people, they believed they could absorb the life of others and keep themselves young forever, for a few years it worked until a group of heros rose up, this spell was weakened greatly as it passed down the generations, now it only drains health and energy from those it is used against, it also transfers it to the caster of the spell, it actually makes a rather useful spell due to the fact it can help even the playing field and occasionally increase the maximum health people have.

Many believe this was created by a masterful sorcerer who learned the secrets of time and space and has moved them around slightly. He learned how to slow his enemies and even stop them at points.

It is said this came from the wise sages who learned to compress the world around them but died shortly after writing down only part of the secrets they knew.

This child wrote down the secrets within the top of a box which was hidden within a cave, while it was discovered by a scholary man who recorded it within the book and has given it a nickname.

Obtaining the Arcane:

The “Arcane” magics are highly advanced magic spells that can only be obtained by the most powerful of characters. These are all extremely powerful spells, and not all of them appear in the traditional 3-level groupings like the basic spells do. Because of this, the requirements for obtaining these spells is a bit different than any of the other spells. For starters, all Arcane-class spells require the Magic Mastery Tier 3 perk, and a magic stat of at least 2000 to be able to purchase. Some spells may even have additional requirements. Once these prerequisite requirements are met, there's the gil cost itself.

In order to understand the cost of Advanced Magic, you need to know the cost of the Regular Magic. So, to review, Regular spells can be purchased for 300, 600, and 1000 gil, depending on the level. And these base costs increase by 100, 200, and 300 times the number of spells of the corresponding level that the character already knows. So the first Level 3 spell a character buys will be 1000, while the second would be 1300, and so on.

The cost of Advanced spells increases in the same manner, 100 for every Level 1 spell known, 200 for every Level 2, and 300 for every Level 3. However, the base amount that the spell costs is doubled. So, a Level 1 Advanced spell costs 600, plus 100 for every Level 1 spell the character knows. And so on. 1200, plus 200, at Level 2, and 2000, plus 300, at Level 3. This may seem like a big difference in cost, but the more spells a character knows the less pronounced this difference becomes.

Of course, not all of the Advanced Spells come in the 3-level groupings. The spells that don't (Stop, Flare, Break, Renew, and Auto-Life) are all treated as level 2.

As with regular spells, Mage characters receive a 10% discount on spells, but with a 15% mark-up for combat abilities. Knight and Martial Artist characters receive a 15% mark-up on spells, but with a 10% discount on combat abilities.

Arcane Magics:

Comet: A spell of the cosmos. In a similar method to gravity. The mage wards space around the area, drawing in one or at higher levels more, of these cosmic rocks to come crashing down from the heavens to cause massive non elemental damage to their targets. This spell is highly destructive to ot just the opponent but also the enviorment. As of such using it within cities usually carries with it a penalty. So it should only be used in the direst of circimstances within cities. Unless of course you are evil and your intent is to cause as much damage as possible. In which case, by all means, cast away.

Spell	Base Damage	Base MP Cost	Special Effects
Comet	+500 Magic Damage	1050	Massive Non-elemental damage, effects entire target party.

While many have learned that darkness isn't always evil and many mages have begun to study this ability.
