RP is still open, so you can go ahead and submit a CS if you want in. ^_^

Basically the invoker concentrates their magical and mental power on opening a gate to another realm. This doesn't require any kind of involved ritual or anything. At first, it takes a while, but as the invoker becomes more skilled, the process of searching, finding, linking, and summoning gets faster. And once a being is summoned, it can stay around or be sent back to its home realm. The summons have free will and can operate independently of the invoker if they are sentient; most summons just choose to listen to their invoker and/or form a bond. The link between the invoker and the summon can be severed by incompatibility or a weakened mental or magical state which will send the being back.

Think of keeping a summon around as similar to carrying something in a backpack. If you are comfortable carrying 50 lbs of weight all day without being tired, then that's your capacity; someone else may only  be able to handle 10 lbs. You can train to be able to handle more over time. Think of all that in terms of mental/magical strain rather than physical.

Hope all that made sense! >_>

No, not everyone has magical capability. Only those who have what I'm calling 'runic blood' are able to perform magic. This isn't rare or anything, but it's not something everyone has. There are numerous forms of magic in the world...invokers just specialize in using it to summon.

Also...great job on Cleo...he's good to go!

Yes, your character shares a room with three others. The rooms are large enough so that there is ample space for everyone to feel comfortable.
