User:Tacitus666/Atala/Atalean Summoner

Summoners, sometimes known as Conjurers, are spellcasters efficient in close combat and equipped with elite-class pistols and light swords. Their main purpose, however, is to summon and control myriad minions such as bone golems, undead, otherworldly beasts, and so forth. These minions are then sent to protect the Summoner himself as well as the ranks of Riflemen, keeping them safe from opposing soldiers who get too close.

Summoners are sent alongside the initial units of Riflemen to establish a beachhead. Minions summoned are actually kept within Atalean borders until they are needed, in which case they are teleported to the Summoner's whereabouts with his tactical orders mentally fed into their minds as they warp between their home and the battlefield, so as to have them ready to fight within a split second of materialization. Minions have complete loyalty to Atalean interests, so there is no danger of them turning on their masters.
