I smirk, "Well that is... a rather simplified version of summoning... Basically it's the coloring books of summoning magic. All the hard work is already done, you just have to fill some stuff in."

With a casual wave of my hand the cerberus is sent tumbling aside, "Summoning, at its most basic level is using is moving something from point A to point B regardless of the positions point A and point B hold in space time or if point A and point B are in seperate planes of space time all together. This can be done in a variety of ways, usually via a form of automated telekinesis, straight teleportation, or via the use of portals."

As I continue to speak the T Rex presses the advantage and charges the fallen Cerberus, "The summoning contracts you use are essentially a paint by numbers kit, put your name here, put the summons name there, put the energy here tonmake it work, all of the real work involved in making the spell was done for you. Now what I've been doing on the otherhand... well my knowledge of summoning magic isn't so limited."
