There are two different paths in summoning that can be taken. Elemental and Creature summoning are these two paths. Elemental summoning involves utilizing the elements in the area to conjure a creature consisting of one or more of the elements in the area. Creature summoning involves contacting another realm to summon one of the many different species available in that realm.
