Conjuration is a style of magic that allows the adept trained in it to summon creatures, objects, or energies from outside planes. This allows for healing, summoning pets (that may or may not actually listen to you) and summoning various energies for usage outside of what is commonly taught in the magic schools. Summoning creatures and objects cannot be done mid-air, or within another object; they must be summoned with ample open-space, else the conjuration will fail and possibly result in self-damaging results. Often thought of as the "light" counterpart to Necromantic arts, conjuration is the only actively taught magic between the two similar magics. Conjuration is broken down into the following areas:
- Summoning Creatures
- Summoning Objects
- Summoning Energies
Summoning Creatures: Manifesting creatures from other realms of existence, often celestial beings or "tamed" creatures that have been put away into a "personal realm" to pick from. This is usually the most taxing of conjurations, since the adept is calling forth an entity from an entirely different realm, however this can also be one of the most effective, since the adept needn't worry of getting up close to the target to fight. Not all creatures conjured will listen to the adept that has summoned it, however with practice with creatures, bonds can be formed to allow the adept and the conjured entity to get along enough for it to listen to the adept's command.
Summoning Objects: Manifesting objects from other realms of existence, such as stored books, trinkets, and other weapons that the adept may have stored within a "personal realm" to bring forth for later usage. This is the second most taxing conjuration type, since the adept is not summoning an entire creature, but rather an object that needn't have a personality or specific anatomical features to allow life. This is typically much quicker than the creature counterpart, however it is not nearly as quick as its energy counterpart.
Summoning Energies: Manifesting energies from other realms of existence, typically healing energies to make use for larger purposes. Typically, this is only done for healing, which makes Conjuration Adepts the go-to source for any medical purposes, however that isn't to say a Conjuration Adept may not summon an extraplanar energy to serve their purposes, sometimes for offensive or defensive purposes.
