Summon

Summons are among the most well known and powerful abilities in the Golden Sun series. They consist of the user calling upon a powerful spirit to assist the user's party. The use of any Summon requires that the party have the necessary number of Djinn of the proper element on standby at the time the character attempts the Summon. These Djinn are subsequently placed into recovery. In general, the power of the summon increases the more Djinn are required to summon it.

Unlike Psynergy, Summons always hit all enemies (Coatlicue being the only exception since it targets the party). They also temporarily enhance the user's elemental power in the elements corresponding to the Djinn necessary for the Summon. In addition, summons are among the only abilities that do damage proportional to the targets maximum HP in addition to the damage it does normally with its base power. This makes them particularly potent against bosses.

There were a total of sixteen summons in the first Golden Sun, all of which used one to four Djinn of only a single element and would become available upon acquiring enough Djinn. These summons did damage with no secondary effects. Golden Sun: The Lost Age introduced thirteen additional summons which, unlike those of the previous game, all used Djinn of two different elements, varying from two to thirteen Djinn, and all were acquired by discovering special stone tablets. In addition, most of these summons had secondary effects to either hinder opponents or strengthen the party. More information can be found on each Summon's page.
