It is a curious thing, to reach a hand into realities other than your own. This is the art of the Summoner, whose hand then bring forth all manner of things that did not exist only moments before. The Summoners command of arcane conjuration is unrivaled, able to bring forth sustenance, tools, barricades, weaponry, even fantastic creatures of incredible strength and ability - all of this at their whim.
Lore
The Mana Plane is home to near-sentient entities of pure arcane energy known as Mana Ghosts. Without purpose or form, it is the Summoner who has fashioned a use for them. Through their mastery of arcane summoning and the use of alchemical magic, the Summoner is able to pull a Mana Ghost through time and space while binding it to an elemental property. Historically the most stable and effective bindings have been to the elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, though experimentation is ongoing. These creations are known as Arcamentals and are the primary way Summoners engage in combat.
Description
A Human Summoner with their Arcamental. [Pre-alpha, 2018].
A Gnome Summoner.
The Mana Plane is home to near-sentient entities of pure arcane energy known as Mana Ghosts. Without purpose or form, it is the Summoner who has fashioned a use for them. Through their mastery of arcane summoning and the use of alchemical magic, the Summoner is able to pull a Mana Ghost through time and space while binding it to an elemental property. Historically the most stable and effective bindings have been to the elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, though experimentation is ongoing. These creations are known as Arcamentals and are the primary way Summoners engage in combat.
Arcamentals are categorized into 4 classes based on the elemental they are bound to. As you grow in power, your Arcamental will grow as well, becoming stronger and gaining access to more abilities. The Summoner will be able to choose which abilities their Arcamental has active.
Arcamentals are capable of using special armor and weapons that the summoner creates. These weapons improve the Arcamental’s effectiveness in various ways by improving its unique attributes: Power, Energy, Solidity, or Quickness. The different Arcamental types will have a unique primary and secondary attribute that the Summoner will want to increase as much as possible.
