Five of the Best: Summons

Good call.

A top-down angle on Bertie's Baldur's Gate 3 character - a blonde-haired human - who's standing in the middle of a orangey summoning circle gesturing in a slightly confused way about what's about to happen.

I'm playing Thaumaturge at the moment, a new role-playing game about a magic user who has a strange relationship with spirits, which fight with them in battle, and it's made me think about summons. That in turn made me think those hours I won't get back from playing Xbox 360 RPG Blue Dragon many years ago - that was a slog, wasn't it? Though, I don't know if it's the smoothing effect of time but my memories of it have turned worryingly fond. Help!
