Summoner: Luan can summon three different types with this magic. Bonded, those bound to Luan by ritual in leu of earning their trust and consent. These Summons are fiercely loyal to Luan obeying him and him alone. Much like your loyal well trained dog, they are their one beings but when given a command will follow it to the best of their capabilities and self preservation in mind. However most will lay down their lives for Luan though he never asks for this and he gives the Bonded a choice if he needs to ask them a favor that may put them into danger.
Contracted creatures are those not deemed beasts, at the very least those with the intelligent of human and above. IE any on the playable species lists. These individuals would be considered something akin to what you'd think of as a demon/devil summon. A written contract is made and signed binding Luan and the creature to an agreement. This can be anything that is in the creatures capability and can have any specifications. It could be a service contract, someone or thing serving a certain amount of time under him as, simply put. A subordinate, others may be a single boon he can request at any time and place, at least what is agreed upon. And the contract is complete once the conditions are met.
Spiritual or circle summoning. This is the most simplest form his magic can manifest. All that is needed for this is a focus, offering and the summoning circle. Once all things are completed Luan can summon any manner of thing, as long as he has consent from them. Yes even on this, he starts the session with a need or request and asks to see what being is able to complete the task he is asking for. Sometimes this works and sometimes no one answers his call. That or he calls upon an entity that he has previously asked permission from and if they are available the summoning will be a success and Luan can go about beseeching the entity. If not then the circle will disappear and Luan will be left with naught.
A few more specific things. Luan's Summoner Magic revolves around consent and trust, if he does not have these things first he will be unable to summon the creature to him nor will he be able to form a contract or bond with them. And with the circle summoning it revolves mainly on a case by case. As long as he has the consent of the creature then he can ask them for what he needs. If they refuse he will never force the being to do what he wills and will close out the circle and send them back.
Luan can only have four contracted creatures and spiritual summons at any one time, his right arm contains those who are contracted and those on the left are for spirit contracts. Anything more will overload Luan's body and cause sever magical and reiatsu backlash, on the same note he can only have ten Bonded at a time. These are creatures that he has the closest bonds with. He does have a variety of other creatures at his disposal, non of which he can call upon in a bind, IE summon to him and dismiss back to his Demiplane at will, only Bonded have that sort of connection with him. He has convinced other creatures to work with him but they still have a choice and may leave if that is their will.
((Explanation from BTACD: Summoners are rare magic-users that may call upon their power to bring an entity across the Realms and into their plane of existence. A summoner may summon anything from an animal, spirit, or creature from any world, so long as either they have control of that summoned being, or the one being summoned has allowed the summoner to call upon them. The strongest summoners are able to break their summons' minds and bring them to serve regardless of whether they want to or not; however, it's also very dangerous, as sometimes the summoned creatures may break their control and maul or kill their summoner.))
WILDWHISPERERS: Like most wildwhisperer's Luan can speak, understand and connect with many different fauna that are scattered throughout the realms. Unlike most wildwhisperers he does not specialize in one creature but makes a point to understand all he comes across, even expanding on his ability so that he may connect with a wide variety of flora as well; Sulien said it best “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” One of Sulien's many quotes, spoken as the sun blessed dragon lazed in a chair watching over Luan while he worked. In many ways true enough Luan does like to dabble in everything, but mostly they are skills that will help him in reaching his goals. Along with understanding and speaking, Luan greatly counts his blessing with the other passive effects that come with being a wildwhisperer. As a wildwhisperer Luan has the innate ability to bring calm and piece to most animals around him. As he always exudes an aura of calming that has deterred many a fight before one broke out. This works well for Luan as he does not particularly like fighting all that much, if he can avoid conflict and make a friend while he does so, all the better.
((Explanation from BTACD: This class has the ability to speak with the nonsapient animals of the Realms. Where an individual hears simple noises, a wildwhisperer will hear words, automatically translated through their latent magical energy. A wildwhisperer's presence is often calming to a Realm's fauna, leading an animal to willingly converse before overly rash decisions are made. A wildwhisperer knows more than anyone how unique an animal can be in personality and quirks, or how rewarding it is to see a beast as a friend. This leads many whisperers to specialize in particular breeds of fauna. An example might be that one may have a much easier time conversing with equine fauna, but struggle with connecting to birds. Some wildwhisperers can connect with the flora of a Realm with greater ease than they can with fauna, and generally tend to have gardens for their new earthbound friends.))
ENCHANTERS/DISENCHANTERS: Luan found out many years ago that he was quite adept at enchanting as well as disenchanting. He's used these skills along with others he's come across in his years to help facilitate all the funds he needs to keep all those under his care well kept and healthy. Usually he enchants small equipment and trinkets designed with what the wearer has in mind. This has also given him some skills in tinkering, jewelry craft, and much more. However the most prominent uses he employs this ability is through supportive buffs to his summons, weather it is to improve defense, speed, attack power or health regeneration over time. He is always finding ways to help better the outcome of any altercation that he can not avoid through words. Another way he has used this ability is to enhance certain aspects of his Bonded and or other fauna and even flora he works with. Enchanting different boons into them when he can, from higher yield in harvest, potency in medicinal uses, even to trying to quell the more wild urges of the fauna he is currently working on breeding. His aspiration is to create sub-species of the realms beasties to where he can open up a pet shop and find these wonderful creatures homes. Be it to a loving family or to another noble cause, he just wishes for them to not only be seen as nuisances and or prey but bring out the value he has seen in each and every one of the beautiful creatures of the realms. Along with enchanting, Luan has also found that he can disenchant most simple things with ease. His skill lay more in enchanting but this has never stopped him from trying. A few times he's had a few blow out's to where he was blasted back from a particularly bad curse enchanted item. And he was laid out flat for weeks with Sulien doting on him night and day till he was fully recovered. That experience tempered any further attempts to disenchant items and or people from curses without the proper protections in place. This he knows is not a true fail safe but it is when most everyone in the practice does to protect themselves, Luan was just a little late to that party to understand that bit of information at the time.
((Explanation from BTACD: An enchanter is a magic user that imbues an item, creature, or person with an enchantment - these enchantments may range over a variety of purposes and uses, though it is known that casting an enchantment over a living being is much more difficult to accomplish than over an inanimate object. It is important to note that enchantments are different than curses and blessings, and rarely may achieve the same effects. A disenchanter is a magic user that may break or otherwise remove, counter, or render ineffective a particular enchantment, spell, or curse upon an item or individual. As this is a very dangerous ability to have, many disenchanters have items on their person enchanted to keep the backlash to a minimum - though these are not always effective.))
