Summoner

The purpose of the Summoner is to have someone else fight for them all the time. Summoners can tame animals and hypnotize sentient beings, creating followers to do their bidding for a while. They can also cast spells to conjure creatures up from thin air to fight for them temporarily in combat. Their attack and defend and healing spells rely on an intermediary buddy to actually make the affect happen.

At level 30, a Summoner may evolve into either a Dollmage or a Necromancer. Summoners can choose two weapon types in which to be proficient. The primary attribute of the Summoner is Constitution.

Skills

This skill allows the user to rescue another character from combat. Using rescue will cause the user to take the place of the target in combat, saving the target from further harm. Rescue may only be attempted on players or pets.

Dollmage

The Dollmage is one of two classes a Summoner may evolve into at level 30.

By carefully selecting the right equipment and later augmenting it, a Dollmage may construct and maintain a single powerful golem to fight in his place. They have the ability to junction with said golem (or others), increasing the stats of their target at the expense of their own power. Junctioning with a golem will also grant it extra abilities. Dollmages also have the ability to permanently enslave others.

Dollmages get two commands that can be used any time without having to practice anything.

• disjunction

Disjunction cancels all junction-type affects that you have active. Junctions have an infinite duration unless explicitly canceled by this command.

• storage

The Storage command allows you to put your current pet into limbo and then, if you haven't gotten another pet, retrieve it at your leisure. Items and everything stay intact.

Skills

Dollmages do not gain any extra skills

Spells

• Gather - Level: 30 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 34

This spell rounds up all your charmies and dumps them in the same room you're in. It has none of the restrictions of Recall or Summon, as the creatures involved are already attuned to the caster.

• Animate Golem - Level: 30 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 35

Animate Golem turns a piece of body armor on the ground into a pet loyal to the caster. This spell DOES NOT require the caster to be alone in a room, and it can only be cast if the caster does not already have a pet. The strength of the conjured golem is determined by the level of the armor used to make it. Any special effects of the armor, such as additional stat bonuses or elemental resistances, will apply to the golem that is made out of it.

• Transfusion - Level: 30 - Lag: 8 - Mana: 12

Transfusion takes some of the caster's health and donates it to the target. This spell cannot be cast if the caster has very little health to begin with. At high skill percentages, this spell will actually donate more health to the target than the caster gives away.

• Junction Spirit - Level: 35 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 30

When a Dollmage junctions their spirit to another, they suffer a penalty to their AC. However, the recipient of their spirit gains an equal or greater bonus to their own AC.

This spell automatically consumes an armor item on the floor in the room.

• Recharge - Level: 45 - Lag: 24 - Mana: 60

The Recharge spell will refill a wand, staff, or event item to its maximum number of charges. It can also, for rod-type and some event items, re-set the lag time to make the item immediately usable again.

As the name suggests, someone else enjoys boosted max HP while the caster suffers a somewhat smaller reduction to their own.

Said item must be in the caster's inventory, must be visible to the target, and must be removable. The target must have enough carrying capacity to actually receive the item, too. These requirements being met, the object will instantaneously move anywhere in the world to reach the target's inventory.

• Enslave - Level: 60 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 120

Enslave does as its name suggests, making the Charm affect on the target last forever. Slaves may be uncharmed by dismissing them.

• Cleft Rift - Level: 65 - Lag: 16 - Mana: 80

By casting Cleft Rift, the caster tears open the fabric of space-time, causing a random creature from the Cleft of Dimensions to appear. This creature will act as a loyal pet to the caster. Creatures higher level than the caster will never be summoned.

Necromancer

The Necromancer is one of two classes a Summoner may evolve into at level 30.

With the ability to resurrect the dead into followers, it is evident that Necromancers choose to take advantage of the disposability of their minions. Their pets are ephemeral, decaying after too long, and their strength depends on what kind of corpse was used. Necromancers have a variety of abilities that sacrifice one of their pets in order to boost the remaining. They get skills as they level up to allow them to control increasing numbers of minions. Between-battles is battlefield cleanup duty.

Skills

This passive skill allows the user to control up to five followers at a time. It activates automatically once it is practiced to 60%.

Spells

• Gather - Level: 30 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 34

• Skeleton Crew - Level: 30 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 28

This spell will turn any corpses in the room into weak skeleton pets. If there are many corpses in the room, only enough will be created to accommodate the maximum number you can have. The power of the skeletons depends on the level of the corpse.

• Corpus Levitas - Level: 35 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 12

When cast, Corpus Levitas will drastically reduce the weight of a targetted NPC corpse, allowing you to carry many of them if you wish.

Detonate can only be cast on charmed followers of the caster. Detonate can never be cast on player characters. The Detonate spell attaches a fuse, like that found on a bomb, to the target. The target then initiates a countdown, and at the end of the countdown the target will explode, causing heavy damage to all enemies in the room.

• Death Coil - Level: 40 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 35

Death Coil can be cast on a pet you own to blow it up, restoring the health of the rest of your group in the room and yourself. The amount of health restored depends on the destroyed pet's maximum HP.

• Resurrect - Level: 45 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 36

The Resurrect spell must be cast on a corpse in the inventory of the caster. Casting this spell will cause the corpse to come to life once again - but in zombie form. The resurrected zombie will serve as a loyal pet to the caster until it dies once again.

The zombie has the same resistances, vulnerabilities, and armor as the original mob, but are always Slow and cannot be healed. Zombies lose all their special attacks, but gain a gas breath attack, which they use sometimes.

After about 10 minutes, zombies will rot so much that they leave only a skeleton behind.

• Death Pact - Level: 45 - Lag: 12 - Mana: 64
