Category:Summoning Magic

From FFXI Wiki



Summoning Magic is a general magic category available only to summoner which includes spells that summon into existence avatars or elemental spirits that the summoner can control.

Summoning Magic skill determines various aspects of:

While only the act of summoning avatars and elemental spirits is effectively "summoning magic," the use of Blood Pact: Rage and Blood Pact: Ward can also raise your Summoning Magic Skill.

Summoning Magic spells

Summoning magic spells are divided into two general categories: avatars and elemental spirits. The summoning spell is the act of summoning the avatar or spirit, not actions performed by the avatar or spirit. The act of summoning itself has no MP cost, although there is an ongoing perpetuation cost per tick associated with an active avatar or spirit. Elemental spirits are learned through obtaining and utilizing the associated spirit pact item. Aside from Carbuncle, who is automatically obtained upon unlocking Summoner, Avatars must be acquired through completing the associated avatar prime trial battlefield. All avatars and elemental spirits are available at level 1, with the exceptions of Alexander and Odin who can only be summoned under the effect of Astral Flow at level 75 or beyond.

Avatars have access to Blood Pact: Rage and Blood Pact: Ward abilities, while elemental spirits cast various spells associated with their element. The amount of spells and abilities available to the summon increase with the summoner's level (see individual avatar or elemental spirit pages for information about their available spells and abilities).
