How to train

Capture the souls of defeated combat creatures in Soul Gems. Command one companion, assist your own work, carry more, or manifest bound weapons and tools. Open Summoning to study lessons and manage your collection.

Training through combat

Combat companions train Summoning through their credited damage and eligible guard contribution when the enemy is defeated. A manifested bound weapon redirects 25% of its credited offensive XP to Summoning. These rewards are split from the existing combat XP budget; they do not add a second damage reward pool.

Level unlocks

Equipment entries list their catalog use requirement; all additional requirements still apply. A listed future species without a current test-world spawn cannot currently be captured there.

Skill points and talent ranks

Gain one skill point for every level above 1, kept separately for this skill. Each skill tree has six branches and three synergy nodes. Tier I rank requirements are levels 2–6 and cost 1 point per rank; tier II requires levels 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 and costs 2 points per rank; tier III requires 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 and costs 4 points per rank. A child node requires rank 3 in its parent. Synergies require level 35, rank 3 in both parents and 4 points; each adds two power to both linked original branches. Branch power has a level-dependent cap, reaching 35 at level 90. These are choices inside your earned budget, not a way to purchase every branch at once.
