Summoners are mages, mages that dedicate their lives to studying the other planes of existence. They study and interact with it in their secluded lairs or command their denizens to fight for them and flaunt them as a sign of power. Many Summoners are looked at as evil, depending on what plane they summon their power from, while others hold strong positions of power, they live a life of extremes.

The Summoner uses their talents and knowledge to summon spirits, demons, fey, and other creatures from the other planes to assist them in combat, or to just have someone to talk to ( summoned creatures lose any legendary actions if they have them). Their summons are permanent until they reach 0 hits points or dismissed, they act on their own initiative, and obey any verbal/telepathic commands that their summoner issues them (no action required). 

Beyond their summonings a Summoner commands more primordial abilities in combat, fire, ice, lightning, etc while also commanding a vast amount of support spells used with their summoning and allies. They are a versatile support role, where if used correctly can become a very high damage dealer.
