Agreed. Ok. [He finished his cup of coffee and took in a deep breath before starting.] Let me begin by reiterating the principles behind summoning. The art, as you've witnessed, involves the channeling of mana through the body in order to communicate with the spirit, which one has formed a pact with. That mana is then needed in abundance to actually call forth the spirit.
As I've mentioned in the past, unlike elves, humans unfortunately do not have the natural ability to connect and communicate with nature or in this case, mana. So besides collecting the summoning artifacts, such as this ring, [He took the diamond ring off his finger to show her.] I had to create more accessories capable of doing just that, including these. [He slid his hand across his tattooed arm.]
Ancient markings that aid in drawing mana towards the body. One of the reasons why I'm capable of gathering mana and focusing it all at a single point. Hence the glyph that appears once that's been done along with the correct chant.
