Summoning is the art of, well, summoning Others to come do your bidding. It is one of the more basic spells any practitioner can learn regardless of their school. However the Conjure schools are especially adept at it. Those who primarily use summonings are called Summoners.
Methodology
Summoning is a deal and conjure oriented school. It is extremely versatile, due to the sheer amount of capabilities Others bring with them. There are a variety of ways to summon something. Some can be as simple as saying its name repeatedly<ref>“Ms. Lewis,” I said. “Would you happen to know the name of that something nasty that might come if I called it?”
“Yes,” she said. “Ornias. He once placed stars in the firmament, but he now calls them down to earth. Say his name seven times.”
