Summoner's World

Basic World Summary

In this world, magic exists. People are able to use basic spells from a young age. Though it is a modern setting, magic is implemented throughout everyone's daily lives. Everything from basic house chores to transportation, magic has a use. However, magic's most popular use is combat. Entire wars have been fought using magic, however nowadays magic combat is mostly used in sports. Something almost every person in this world does is summon a magic companion, usually a spirit animal or other magical creature or being. Normally these "summons" are in some way related to the summoner's natural magical attribute.

Summons

Normally, most people conjure their summons in school, usually around the age of 15. However that is not always the case. Many prestigious families prefer to preform the summoning ritual early do their children have more time to attune to their summon. In other cases a person may either not be able to conjure a summon until they've matured further, or their magic power is too weak to summon one. Summons usually take the form of spirit animals, such as cats, dogs, fish, birds, ect. Also summons so nor strictly take the form of non-magical animals. There may be dragons (both the massive type and ones small enough to fit in the palm of someone's hand), pixies, griffins, jackelopes, pegasuses, ect. It is much more rare for a summon to be a humanoid, though there are known powerful mages who have conjured ancient warriors, elves, harpies, mermaids, and so on. In some super rare cases a person may be able to conjure more than one summon. A myth even exists that the four most powerful mages ever known had their summons be gods and goddesses. Summons are almost always somehow related to the magic users natural magical attribute. For example a person with the attribute of fire would have a dragon or salamander, wind would have some type of bird, and so on. Lastly, summons are able to be "put away" in a sense. The users can call them out at will or decide to have them stored away inside of their own internal magical space. Summons each have their own personalities, some acting more like pets, while others are refined and well mannered. Very powerful summons also may be able to speak.

Magical Attributes

The vast majority of humanity is born with a natural magical attribute, with less than 2 percent being those that aren't. Even those two percent can still perform magic if they study how to do so. Most commonly, people are born able to use one of the four major attributes; earth, air, fire, and water. Those attributes can be more specific such as the use of electricity, ice, plants, and metal. Outside of that are the even more exceedingly rare light and dark magic. Those who have light as their natural attribute are usually born with the ability to create illusions or create magical sources of light. It is considered "divine" magic. Dark magic is not considered evil, since it usual involves shadow manipulation, absorbing light, and so on. Exceedingly rare are non-elemental magic attributes. These may involve magic that can read or control minds, summon objects, necromancy, and even magic negation. Though each person may be able to use magic outside of their attribute, magic that aligns with a person's specific attribute is much more powerful, does not require verbal speech, and/or doesn't require the caster to create a magic circle first.
