Summons can be used to deal damage, enfeeble enemies, and buff the party. Summoning magic skill reduces the chance of spell interruption (similar to Healing Magic), and influences a summoner's elemental spirits. Job Skill Ranking Cap at Level 1 Cap at Level 37 Cap at Level 75 Summoner A- 6 114 269

Summoning magic skill does several things:

1. Decreases the wait time between when a Elemental Spirit is summoned and uses a spell. Plus the time between when it uses a spell and uses its next one. See {{Spirit Spell Casting Time}}.
2. Increases the intelligence of the AI of an Elemental Spirit. The spirit will generally cast more powerful and relevant spells more often. When its AI is good, the Light Spirit sometimes defies the spell recast timer when your HP is low.
3. It is believed to reduce the chance of interruption when you are attacked while summoning, but this is not completely certain.
4. If you are over skill cap it affects Blood Pact: Rage and Blood Pact: Ward.
   • Blood Pact: Ward with standard duration of less than 180 seconds:
     • 30sec duration: +1sec/skill over cap, 150 skill over cap is needed to reach max duration of 180 seconds
     • 60sec duration: +2sec/skill over cap, 60 skill over cap is needed to reach max duration of 180 seconds
     • 90sec duration: +3sec/skill over cap, 30 skill over cap is needed to reach max duration of 180 seconds
     • 180sec duration: no gain
   • Blood Pact: Rage
     • Accuracy bonus and Magic Accuracy bonus based on how far over the skill cap the player is. Source
5. Increases the MP recovered when using Elemental Siphon.

Calling forth an avatar can sometimes improve a player's summoning magic skill. You will also be able to increase summoning magic skill when using the Blood Pact: Rage and Blood Pact: Ward pet commands.

Astral Flow's effect on Summoning Skill is debatable (see Discussion Page).

This skill was forgotten for a long time and deemed to do absolutely nothing until people decided to do research and discovered that it had a major impact on elemental spirits.

To get avatars you need to do certain quests and battles.

See Combat Skills for more skill information.
