Abbreviation:	SMN
Expansion Pack:	Rise of the Zilart
How to Unlock:	I Can Hear a Rainbow
Page Contents:	Abilities Summons Skills Merits Equipment Guides

Available after completing the quest I Can Hear a Rainbow, these heretic mages have unlocked the secrets of the forbidden magic of Vana'diel by creating a pact with the Avatar known as Carbuncle. Through his suggestion, these mages have the choice to delve further into the craft and create pacts with up to 12 more of the Avatars of Vana'diel after defeating them in battle to prove their worth.

If accepted, Summoners are able to fight alongside them in order to bring peace to Vana'diel. The Summoner is a versatile job, but it often finds its place as the support role in a standard party. It provides moderate damage support for the party through skillchaining or magic bursting with avatars. It also provides party buffs along with damage mitigation and healing support. All with limited enmity gain. At later levels summoners rely less on skillchains and magic bursts for damage dealing.

Horizon Changes

• Moderate changes to Artifact Armor.
• Significant changes to the relic weapon Claustrum.
• Whispering Wind is now available from level 38 and additionally removes some status ailments including: Blind, Poison, Paralysis, Disease, Virus, Petrification, Sleep, Silence and Slow.
• Spring Water now gives an AoE 2 MP per tick refresh.
• Crimson Howl's duration has been increased to 3 minutes.
• Ecliptic Growl level has swapped with Ecliptic Howl and is now unlocked at level 54 as opposed to 43 in era.
• Ecliptic Howl level has swapped with Ecliptic Growl and is now unlocked at level 43 as opposed to 54 in era.
• Shining Ruby's effect can now overwrite itself.
• The value of Hastega (Blood Pact) has been increased to be inline with the White Magic spell Haste. This means the two will be interchangeable and can overwrite each other. The MP cost has also been increased to 129 in era, up from 112.

Summons

Avatars can be obtained through various quests, such as obtaining the appropriate elemental tuning forks for the corresponding element or by acquiring a special Key Item (Moon Bauble and Vial of Dream Incense). Elemental Spirits can be obtained either through merchants or by defeating certain monsters that drop the scrolls, which can also be bought or sold on the Auction House.

An initial MP cost is required to summon each Avatar or Elemental Spirit into this plane of existence, as well as an MP perpetuation cost to sustain it. The base MP costs are based on the Summoner's level. See Avatar Perpetuation Cost for details.
