Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another key element to summoning is mediums. In the first KH, and many other RPGs, most summons need a medium through which they are obtained. Mushu and Fireglow, Diablos and the lamp. Some summons will naturally require a medium to obtain.

This wll depend entirely upon the summos we devise and how we plan them. Keep in mind summons are not easy to get, so the vast majority of summons will be discovered as time goes on and in diverse places.

OH WE SHOULD MAKE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND A SUMMON

I thought i'd ive a small list of Posable summons from FFX an a little discription of them... the damage is wrong for this guild but i'll leave it in there for refrence i suppose....

VALEFOR :
-------
Valefor is a flying Aeon, which means he have a high Accuracy rate. That means he is pretty good to dodge attacks and Valefor his pretty quick too.

Valefor's unique attack is Sonic Wings, it's not really strong, a regular attack hurts more, but it has a chance to delay a fiend's turn.

Valefor's Overdrive is Energy Ray. It's a powerful light beam that deals damage on all the enemies. You can also find a second Overdrive for Valefor.

Valefor's Second Overdrive : Once Yuna first joins your group, go back into Besaid and talk to person behind counter at the item shop (it doesn't matter if you buy anything or not). She will tell you something about her dog digging up something. Go talk to the dog in the hut closest to the temple on the right. The dog will give you something mangled and torn, which teaches Valefor the Energy Blast Overdrive. This Overdrive is almost twice as powerful as Energy Ray so it's a far more effective attack.

To make Valefor's Overdrive do more than 9999 HP damage, you will need to find Yuna's Ultimate Weapon, the Nirvana.

IFRIT :
-----
. Ifrit is good for one thing, he starts with the Fire magic, so he can heal himself by casting Fire on himself. It will give you HP instead of damaging you.

Ifrit's Unique attack is Meteor Strike, it's a non-elemental attack that attacks only one fiend.

Ifrit's Overdrive is called Hellfire, it attacks every fiends on the field and it deals massive damage on every enemies. You can do more than 9999 HP of damage by finding Wakka's Legendary Weapon, the World Champion.

IXION :
-----
Ixion replaces Ramuh from previous FFs. He has a very high defense and you can use him as a bait for a fiend attack.

Ixion's unique attack is the Aerospark, which cause non-elemental damage on a single fiend. This attack his also like a Dispel, because it removes statuses like Haste, Protect and Shell.

Ixion's Overdrive is called the Thor's Hammer, it attacks every fiends with a Lighting elemental attack. It also attacks every enemies on the field and to break his 9999 HP of damage, you will need to find Kimahri's Spirit Lance.

SHIVA :
-----
She is a powerful Aeon that uses Ice Elemental for her attacks.

Shiva's unique attack his the Heavenly Strike, it attacks one enemy and delays the fiend turn. The attack also inflict physical damage on the fiend.

The Queen of Ice Overdrive is the Diamond Dust, it freezes every fiends on the field and Shiva breaks the Ice by clapping her fingers. You can deal more than 9999 HP of damage by finding Lulu's Legendary Weapon, the Onion Knight.

BAHAMUT :
-------
The last of the Aeon you can get in the story FFX, Bahamut is an almighty dragon with powerful strength and defense. Bahamut starts with powerful spells like Firaga, Wateraga, Thundaga and Blizzaga.

Bahamut's unique attack his called Impulse. It attacks every enemies on the field and deals great damage. The only disadvantage of that attack his that you lose a turn after you have used it.

Bahamut's Overdrive is the Mega Flare, which fires a destructive beam attack. It deals 9999 HP of damage and you don't need to find any items to make him break that limit. It will break itself on its own.

YOJIMBO :
-------
Yojimbo doesn't have any Overdrives attack, but it has three unique attacks, the Daigoro, the Kozuka, Wakizashi and the Zanmato. Yojimbo attacks fiends depending on how much you paid to get his services. You can make Yojimbo break his 9999 HP of damage barrier by finding Auron's Ultimate Weapon, the Masamune.

ANIMA :
-----
Anima, the most destructive Aeon in the game FFX.

Anima's unique attack is called Pain, it has a high chance of causing instant death on a single enemy.

Anima's Overdrive is called Oblivion, it's one hell of an Overdrive, since it attacks all the fiends on the field with multiple non-elemental attacks.

THE MAGUS SISTERS :
-----------------

The names of the Magus Sisters' Special attacks are Razzia (Sandy), Camisade (Cindy), and Passado (Mindy). In Razzia, Sandy shoots daggers of fire at her opponent, in Camisade, Cindy uses a column of water to fire herself into the air and onto an enemy, in Passado, Mindy will shoot 15 stingers at a single enemy, this is the most powerful special attack of all Aeons because - if Yuna is properly leveled - each stinger will inflict up to 99,999 damage.

The Magus Sister's Overdrive is called the Delta Attack, the three sisters must be in Overdrive. You will see a new command called Combine Powers!. Then, the three sisters will unleash a powerful Overdrives on all the enemies.

As a matter of fact, Bahamut, Shiva, and Ifrit are the top three on the list. And about offensive summons: do you really think Winnie the Pooh has any offensive capability?

I thought I had elaborated on the Pooh-bear summon earlier - guess I haven't. Well here it is then. And just for the record, I originally heard a variation of this idea in the Inverted Hearts forum, a website dedicated to freeware Kingdom Hearts game in the making (we'll post the link somewhere). The idea was that Pooh, since he his in-game elements have never been offensive, would tag along with his summoner and offer him health-replenishing honey.
And though chocobos can attack, they are best suited for safe and efficient travel. Gold chocobos can cross any terrain, too, even bodies of water!
And on top of that, summons don't necessarily have to be attackers, even if combat is their forte. Flying or swimming creatures can provide transportation or serve as diversions. Strong ones can offer manual labor. The key to using summons to their full potential in this RPG is to think outside the box.

We'll keep tabs on those proposed and list the most interesting/popular/useful ones in the first post.

I'm not sure how many people can use a summon. Maybe some will be limited and others won't. We really don't know - it's up to everyone to decide. It's a broad topic.

I've been thinking about the non offensive summons up mana / up health / travel / distraction / other uses
I think that is a great idea and i didn't mean for my last post to be seen as i'm only considering FFX... i was just in my English class and had some time to kill so FFX was the easiest to do....
There are of course limitless summons that could be done and be useful Like I'm not sure if your limiting summons to only monsters / living beings
I could summon a broom a pan a tent what ever i needed within reason with a 'spell' like that (i'm not sure your counting it as a spell)
So i guess before i continue thinking about this i should know
Is summoning limited to summoning beings or can we summon items as well (Of course healing things and food items wouldn't be much help cause after the summon is gone so are what ever was drank / eaten)
