Summoning Classes

Despite popular belief, there are several classes to summoning. Five to be exact. All who wish to learn the art as summoning start out as a Student or Pupil. From there they go to Secondary Summoner to Journeyman to Summoner and from there, a Master Summoner.

Student
Students are in basic learning. All may become a stdent, all may pass being a student. Students mainly observe others before trying. They may take anywhere from a week to six months to go through Student Class. If they prve they can summon and control a small elemental to a large elemental or minor Esper, they may pass to the next level.

Secondary Summoner
The class of Secondary Summoner follows after Student/Pupil class. They begin learning how to summon Espers only. Most move through this class very quickly, usually taking less than a month to go through the class. When they prove they can summon and control a master Esper without faltering, they advance top the next class. Anybody who passes the Secondary Summoner class can handle any Esper at all if they have summoned it.

Journeyman
This is the class where the Summoner-in-training travels the world to find the right type of summoning. They will always be traveling with a Summoner to help them. Here, they will learn to summon minor to master Summon creatures and possibly decide on becoming a type of Summoner known as a "Diciple". They station themselves in one area and summon only healer creatures to help people. If civil war breaks out, they will break up the battles before it is too late. When they complete a full round with a Summoner, Journeyman will then be raised to Summoner.

Summoner
Very few people make it past the Summoner Class. In this class they will learn and master summoning Guardian Forces and making a creature into a Guardian Force. To recieve the title of a Summoner, they need to guide a Journeyman through a course that usually takes a month or so. They can rightly call themselves a full Summoner once thie is completed. Most Summoners keep themselves ready for war and a few settle in an area or Kingdom to help defend that area or Kingdom. Others may hire themselves out to armies or such.

Master Summoner
Only a select few make it to Master Summoner, not becuase of time to train or practice, but because of power. Few have the magical power it takes to become a Master Summoner. Master Summons have the ability not only to create Guardian Forces from normal cretures, and the ability to summon anything at all from Esper, Summon or GF, but possess the ability to create Summons. Espers cannot be created any under circumstances and must be born as an Esper.
Summons can be created, but you need essances from other Summons or Guardian Forces. There are also the few experts who can create a GF from nothing at all but inspiration, and those who can create a Summon in less than a day. Master Summoners are incredibly difficult to find because of their rare powers. Espers, Summons and GF's cannot under any circumstances become Master Summons becuase since they are summons themselves, they cannot create summon creatures.
