Summoning is a Warrior Mage"Warrior mage" is not in the list (None, Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Empath, Moon Mage, Necromancer, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, ...) of allowed values for the "Guild association is" property.-only skill that represents a Warrior Mage's facility with the elements - it currently affects familiar summoning, Aethereal Pathways, and the creation of Elemental Domains.
All applications of the SUMMONING skill are fueled by Elemental Charge, which requires the Warrior Mage first ALIGN to one of the elements.
Maximum Elemental Charge begins with a static base amount and is modified upward based on your Stamina. Charge is increased by casting spells of the aligned element and decreased by casting spells of the opposing element. Each spell contributes the same amount to charge. Charge level does not change over time.
Elemental Domains affect how charge is gained or lost and counter environmental penalties for Elemental spells, generally making it easier to maintain charge with the appropriate element.
Charge level can be seen using PATHWAY SENSE

0. You sense nothing out of the ordinary. Only magic could detect the useless trace of fire.
1. A charge hovers just above the threshold of perception.
2. A small charge lingers within your body.
3. A charge dances through your body.
4. A charge dances just below the threshold of discomfort.
5. A charge circulates through your body, causing a low hum to vibrate through your bones.
6. Elemental essence floats freely within your body, leaving little untouched.
7. Elemental essence has infused every inch of your body. While you could contain more, you'd do so at the risk of your health.
8. Extraplanar power crackles within your body, leaving you feeling mildly feverish.
9. Extraplanar power crackles within your body, leaving you feeling acutely ill.
10. Your body sings and crackles with a barely contained charge, destroying what little cenesthesia you had left.
11. You so heavily embody the Elemental Plane of Fire that it already threatens your health. Going any further while in this plane would be fatal.

Training Methods
- Using Aethereal Pathways - The primary method of learning Summoning is to activate an Aethereal Pathway. This can be done in or out of combat. Once a pathway has been activated it will continue to pulse as long as you maintain sufficient Elemental Charge - either through casting ALIGNment complementary spells or using SUMMON ADMITTANCE.
- SUMMONING - Use of the SUMMON ADMITTANCE, SUMMON IMPEDANCE or SUMMON familiar commands will grant a small amount of experience.
- Using the elemental BARRAGE also teaches some summoning skill
- Teaching or Listening to Summoning - Other Warrior Mages can teach or be taught the Summoning skill.
