Summoners rely on summoning magic to attack enemies. In addition, they have passive abilities which enhance both normal summons and Friend Summons, obtainable after linking with other players. They have high magical skill but lack in physical ability. They are most proficient with Rods but can use Staves and Daggers to lesser degrees.
When the Summoner is first obtained, it will only have access to the Girtablulu summon. To gain access to the others, Summoners must meet two requirements. First, they must have be at or above the necessary job level. Next, they must be awarded the summon by facing an Anchorite in a battle. The Anchorite will use the summon as an automatic first turn. At least one member of the party must survive the summon's attack. If this occurs, the Anchorite will grant the summon to the player. And then the Anchorite will say Splendid.
Reduce damage taken from lightning attacks. Note that you will not receive further reduction if this ability is used along with items with similar effects. Lightning nullification effects take precedence over reduction effects.
