Mastery certificate description

The Summoner is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Earth Crystal. Summoners are magic users who have harnessed the power of high summoning—the ability to call forth a combined Black and White Magic effect. Summoner is considered to be a powered up version of the Evoker job.

Other appearances

Final Fantasy Dimensions II

The Summoner job appears in the form of Signets as part of the "Summoner Refia" event. All of Refia's Signets depict her in her Summoner attire and the original summoner sprite from the NES version appears in the form of the Summoner OR Signet.

Summoner OR is an earth-elemental summon. The summon's special attack is Bahamur, which raises the attack and magic power of all allies for three turns and removes the null physical status from the enemy party. Summoning Summoner OR costs 2 point from the Consumption Gauge.

Summoner OR allows the wielder to use the following abilities:

• Escape I
• Escape II
• Escape III
