Summoning

The power to summon forth an object or organism.

Capabilities
The user can transport person, creature, or object of choice by means of Teleportation, Dimensional Travel, Portal Creation, or some other way. This may also result from a previous summoning contract, which creates a connection between the summon and summoner.

High-level users may not be bound by restrictions such as a contract and can summon anything they want, including powerful beings or "familiar spirits" and often require strong mystic connections to where these entities reside. Users can call upon fairies, angels, demons, or animal spirits, just to name a few.

The summoning can backfire, however, leading to any number of misfortunes, such as the summoned person, creature, or item causing harm to the summoner.
