Summons are magical spells that allows a summoner to call for a mythical monster to provide aid in a battle. Summons are damaging as most of them does damage to multiple target. Although it costs more MP than black magic, Summons are really useful especially for tough battles such as boss fights. Summon magic does more damage than black magic except that it takes a longer time to charge. Summons cannot be reflected by Wall.

In the game, only Rydia is allowed to use Summon Magic.
