Effect
Summons a creature to help you.
Notes
By casting Summon Creature druids and sorcerers can call creatures to their sides that will do their bidding. This is a mysterious and demanding spell which to this day is not fully understood in many details, and for this reason there are many limitations. Thus, only certain creatures may be summoned, and no summoner has ever managed to control more than two creatures at a time. What is generally agreed upon, however, is that the mental effort that is necessary to summon a creature is determined by the summoned being's strength, so if a strong creature is conjured a lot of mana is required. Also, it has turned out that monsters may only be controlled within a certain radius. If a creature is left behind by its summoner it eventually disappears as the artificial bond that kept it in the world is broken. Needless to say, the spell is widely popular among spell casters, as summoned creatures can be used for a wide variety of tasks.

History
- In the past players used to be able to summon an unlimited number of creatures including stronger creatures than today, like Dragons which can no longer be summoned. When the player logged off or disconnected the summons would turn into wild monsters that behaved the same as a normal creature.
- In the early days of Tibia, when only Antica existed, even Paladins were able to summon creatures. When the ability was removed, the old paladins did not lose the spells learned from it. The remaining paladins that could summon creatures lost their spell on Update 10.55 when vocation requirement was also applied while casting spells, not just while buying them.
