The '''Summoner''' (Japanese: {{ruby|{{hl|召喚士|Shōkanshi}}|{{hl|サマナー|Samanā}}}} ''Summoner'') is an advanced magical [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE8}}. Summoners are practitioners of [[Dark (magic)|dark magic]] who, in addition to their offensive magic and ability to use [[Staff|staves]], have the unique ability to summon creatures to come to their aid or that of their allies.

In their debut appearance in ''The Sacred Stones'', Summoners are found only among playable units as one of two [[class change]] options for the [[Shaman]] class. Statistically they are comparable, if slightly inferior, to the other Shaman class change option, the [[Druid]], but while Druids have access to [[Anima (magic)|more weapon types]], Summoners have near-exclusive access to the [[Summon]] skill, allowing them to summon [[Phantom]]s to assist the player's army.

The class's second and final appearance so far is in {{FE10}}, as an enemy-only [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier advanced class]]. The only Summoner in the game is [[Izuka]], the boss of [[Unforgivable Sin|Part 4 Chapter 5]]. Rather than summoning phantom warriors, Izuka instead summons [[Feral One]]s to defend him, summoning up to four such [[laguz]] per turn.
