School of Summoning

The School of Summoning is a branch of the School of Conjuration that specializes in the conjuration of intelligent, autonomous beings. A challenging field to be sure, a Wizard who aims to master summoning magic must develop both a subtle, nuanced control of their magic and a titanic strength of will to punch through the invisible walls enclosing the material plane.

Pact of the Summoner

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you learn how to imbue your spellbook with arcane energy. During a short rest, you can mark your spellbook with arcane runes and it is considered magic, and you can also use it as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells. You cannot have more than one marked spellbook at a time and it cannot be destroyed unless you decide to mark another spellbook, destroying the previous one in the process.

Also, as an action, you can temporarily dismiss your spellbook. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in your hand.

Finally, the gold and time you must spend to copy a conjure or summon spell into your spellbook is halved
