FFIV iOS Summon — Rydia performing the Summon command.

Summon (召喚, Shōkan?), also known as Call, is a command ability in Final Fantasy IV exclusive to Rydia. It allows her to summon Eidolons in battle to deal damage or cause effects. The charge time for the command varies per summon. Summons are acquired either through defeating Eidolons in battle, or earned from item drops.

On the Easy Type version, the majority of the casting times for spells were shortened.
