Summoning (External)

Summoning is a sub-field of Dimensionalism dealing specifically with the retrieval and binding of entities, familiars, creatures, objects, and (at extreme tiers) spirits from other planes.
Classification: Specialization Parent School: Dimensionalism

Technique Glyph Doctrine

Doctrine Pair: Anker + Kreis

Summoning emphasizes stable channel geometry for external entities and negotiated presence control.

Fictional Permission

When you hold Summoning in your Grimoire, you have specific fictional positioning.

Summoning CAN:

• Pull an explicitly marked object to the caster's hand.
• Transport a bonded familiar to the caster's location (Ruff, Wese).
• Bind summoned magical beasts to the caster's will (temporarily).

Summoning CANNOT:

• Summon a person or object that does not have a pre-established magical anchor or soul bond.
• Be used cheaply. Maintaining anchors drains passive mana reserves constantly.

The Core Matrix

This specialization's live-casting access follows its Technique Glyph doctrine.

Geometric Scaling (Mana Track Box Costs)

When determining the cost of a spell, the GM uses this scale. Each example uses live notation: Intent -> School -> Glyph -> Scale -> Tags.

• Trivial (0 Ticks): Call a tiny harmless creature already near. Tug nearby vermin to hand -> Dimensionalism -> Faden+Anker -> trivial effect, near range, tiny beast, brief
• Regular (1 Tick): Pull a small bonded beast to you. Retrieve small familiar -> Dimensionalism -> Anker+Kreis -> standard effect, near range, dog-sized, instant
• Hard (2 Ticks): Yank a known beast across miles to a circle. Call marked beast from afar -> Dimensionalism -> Kreis+Fluss -> hard effect, miles range, single creature, instant
• Complex (2 Ticks): Breach a short portal for something dangerous. Open breach for hostile entity -> Dimensionalism -> Kreis+Gitter+Schleier -> complex effect, near range, doorway aperture, short
• Miracle (4+ Ticks): Anchor a legendary beast straight into the chamber. Anchor mythic beast into room -> Dimensionalism -> Kreis+Gitter+Siegel -> miracle effect, room scale, single entity, sustained
