Ok, so it says nether Mort nor Orewing was summoned from a realm...and Mort is basically an earthbound spirit who became Clarence's companion...which is fine...so where did Orewing come from? Nothing's wrong, I just feel like I'm missing a piece of the story.

@Bartimaeus
The abilities of the beings that are summoned don't necessarily matter as far as the houses go; it's more about the origin and type of the beings. Say you wanted something with ice abilities: in Phantasma, you'd have an ice elemental; in Bestia, you'd have an arctic beast; in Dracona you'd want an ice dragon of some sort; and in Machina, you'd have a machine that uses cryogenics. All the same abilities, but different types of beings.

So, that's a roundabout way of saying that the shapeshifting and fear aura are perfectly okay. ^_^

@ShwiggityShwah
I'm gonna go ahead and approve The Nidhogen and Cogsworth XSL since they are already linked to other characters...and I would say focus on these two for now, since playing more than them would technically be over the two-character limit. You can keep adding more in case the limit changes...but that's totally up to you.

Nettle is approved! Nice job!

@RoflsMazoy
Come on in...imma pack this RP full! XD

@Hammerman
I like her...Esther is approved!

And the summons are conjured by magical energy and are held by both the energy and the mind link (which are pretty much connected). Think of the summons having an invisible tendril attaching them to the invoker. The bond can weaken and strengthen based on energy level and/or mental state.

There will be a few mentors that I give a bit more attention to (if not all of them), so I'll let you do the honors of filling in the details since they're Nera's parents.

Cute. While I was making this, I was considering where plant-based creatures would fit. That little guy would pass for House Bestia. There are others that would probably be more for Phantasma...it really depends on the creature's origins.

@Vox
I just wanted to mention this funny anecdote. I was in the process of coming up with the mentors when you posted your first CS. I had two more to come up with...and when I read that you wanted Nera's parents to teach at the academy,I was like "well there you go". XD So, I put them in the list.

@Crowvette
For House Machina, think of them as programmers and engineers who speak to their summons in machine language or whatever language the tech uses to operate (could be something alien). So for tech invokers, the intelligence would hold a bit more weight than the physical, though the physical does tie in.

Invoking a small drone or android would be easier than invoking a much larger one with similar capability. Invoking alien tech even on a small scale is much more difficult than invoking something that was conceived by humans.

Oh, I'm sorry...Eva is approved!

@Sanity43217
Mythical beasts are fine as long as they aren't out of your character's capacity to summon them. You can make something up...just nothing too human like a werewolf. It doesn't have to be a normal animal. Also, keep in mind that all summoning isn't necessarily for battle.

@Sanity43217
For now, summoning will be limited to calling other physical beings. That's an interesting notion, though.

(Actually, lemme just say, I have plans later...)
