Summon

Summon is a type of power that teleports willing targets to your location from anywhere in the world.

How to Use

Upon clicking the summon power cameo from your powers list, the HUD will prompt the user to enter a name. The intended recipient of the summon is typed in the box, and then confirmed with the check mark button. Upon clicking, the caster will begin the 7-second casting animation. Taking damage during this time will interrupt the spell. If the animation is allowed to complete, the target player will receive a prompt indicating your action and your location.

Failure

Summon can fail for a number of reasons:

• The recipient may choose to reject the summon, causing it to be burnt.
• If the summon is attempted on a character that is not logged in or doesn't exist, the summon will fizzle.
• If the summon is attempted on a player who is in combat mode, the summon will fail and an error message will be returned.
• If a player that accepted a summon enters combat mode before the teleportation effect occurs, the summon will fail and an error message will be returned.

Vocabulary

• Chain summon is a mobilization technique wherein a player casts summon on another character with the summon power, who in turn summons yet another character with summon and so on. This can be timed so that each player in the chain arrives at nearly the same time.
• SRFS is an acronym for "summoner ready for summon". When mobilizing for battle, it is most efficient to gather characters with the summon ability first, since they can in turn use their own summon to bring yet another to the battlefield. This acronym is used to communicate "if you summon me, I can someone someone else there, too".
• NSRFS is an acronym for "non-summoner ready for summon". When mobilizing for battle, it is most efficient to gather characters with the summon ability first, since they can in turn use their own summon to bring yet another to the battlefield. This acronym is used to communicate that you are not a summoner, but are none the less waiting on a summon. == Availability ==
