[// PUBLIC PORTION //]
A curious question to my fellow riftfarers — to those who are capable of "summoning" or calling upon powerful beings or even people, how does it work in your world? Any particular requirements? Contracts?

And have you any luck doing so while here? Any changes you've discovered?

[This is a general broadcast type post, so anyone can threadhop if they'd like to swap stories or anything! Cid will be reading everything...with very keen interest.]

[// PRIVATE TO FFXVI CAST //]

In case you're wondering what this is about, while on that ghost ship a girl somehow managed to summon me from a rock she had—materia she called it. She also knew about Ramuh and some of the other Eikons from our world.

Given there was no warning and that she might not be the only one, thought I should give everyone a heads up. For now I'll be trying some tests with her to see how it works and will share the results.

[garudas]

yes is there a problem with his name

[If Benedikta remembered how to use the emoji, there would be an angry face right here.

But the next message will come quickly enough, because there are far more interesting things to talk about.]

so these little crystal rocks that you use
they are from your world

[That's a question. How does she get a question mark???]

[materiahunting]

Just... I see why he goes by Cid, is all.

[ What kind of name is Cidolfus? And he called her "Yuppy"! ]

Apparently! There are few others with materia, and they all seem to be from my world. Not a different one.

[ Someone needs to teach this person how to capitalize and punctuate! ]

[garudas]

so there are more
just as i thought

it would seem that it is not just ramuh that can be summoned judging from the other responses here

[Fortunately (for the other person), Garuda isn't a summon......]

i would be interested to see the effects of these materia sometime if you would be willing

[materiahunting]

There are a lot of summons in my world, though one person can only equip and use one at a time.

Looks like it. I sure didn't know I'd be summoning a person or Eikon version of Ramuh.

[ As far as we know, Garuda isn't a summon... yet. ]

I don't mind if you tag along with me if Cid's okay with it, too.

[garudas]

oh i am sure he will be fine with having me along

[Lies.]

is it only summoning that these materia can do or do they serve other purposes as well
