Summoning

From Activating Evolution

Summoning, also known as Apportation, Abjuration, Invocation or Conjuring is the ability to mentally summon or conjure subjects. Numerous faculties are possible. The first is most common, and includes the summoning of things from dreams, the user's "spirit animal", or a guardian entity. Another means entails the summoning of any desired (or random) object or subject that can help to get out of a dangerous situation. However, another faculty seems to create constructs (perhaps even living things) out of thin air, while, in fact, it really summons molecules needed to form the shape, creature or construct desired (called Materialization). Summoning is often limited to only one of these faculties.

[edit] Variations:

Recall

• Recall, also called Property Summoning or Possession Summoning is the ability for the user to psychically summon anything which has ever belonged to the user. One with this ability can never truly lose their possessions, as the second they are lost or stolen, the user can simply call them back to the his hands or his immediate vicinity. The recall may either be activated immediately when the user feels a sense of danger, activated through a special word (the word may be different for each possession, though this is not mandatory), or it can be activated by sentimental feelings toward the object.

Shifting

• Shifting, also called Reverse Summoning, Anti-Summoning or Emission is a variation of Summoning, in which the user can only psychically send objects away from himself to other places (instead of to himself like normal Teleportation or Summoning). In fact, the user is incapable of even summoning any object they shift back to himself (although the user can send the object anywhere else). As such, the ability is usually shared by twins or any two or more family members, to keep possessions from being lost or stolen or the like.

Temporal Replacement

• Temporal Replacement is the superhuman ability to psychically replace oneself with a past, future or alternate-reality version of oneself, from anywhere in the universe’s timeline. The user of this ability could replace himself with a self from a few years ago (to appear younger, etc.), or a few years in the future (to gain future knowledge, etc.). He could even replace himself with a self from a few seconds ago, before sustaining a bad injury or the like (or he could even replace himself with a self from another dimension or an alternate reality, in which he is stronger, better looking, a member of the opposite sex, or the like, for limited Shapeshifting).

•This ability sometimes allows telepathic/empathic communication with the replacement self through space-time, so the summoned self can know the actual user’s orders (and their thoughts, emotions and memories); if not, the replacement self can do as he desires (summoning the user back, resisting being returned back to his own time, etc.). This ability may be accompanied by Chronopathy.

Note: The user cannot replace himself with a self that comes from a time he will not live to see (if he will only live to be fifty, for example, the user couldn’t replace himself with a version of himself that was fifty-one, unless that self came from an alternate timeline in which he would live to be fifty-one).

Temporal Summoning

• Temporal Summoning or Timeline Summoning is the superhuman ability to psychically summon a subject from anywhere in the universe's timeline. It can range from summoning a third-century samurai sword to Genghis Kahn's mongrel horde, the comet that killed off the dinosaurs, or the like. One with this ability could also recover a lost prized possession, or even bring back deceased loved ones. This ability however, can only summon things which actually existed or will exist (no summoning thoughts/ideas to life). Sometimes, though, the subject may only be able to materialize a duplicate of that object/subject (called Temporal Materialization).

• However, sometimes, the user can only summon objects/subjects (or duplicates of objects/subjects) that he has encountered or will encounter.

As of yet, only the mysterious computer hacker known as Caertos1213 and the woman Star Anders are both said to have the primary version of this ability.
