That IS what I was thinking about. I'm not talking about new ways of
summoning(not mechanics-wise anyway). The character I was talking about
can only use conjuring and a very limited form of enchanting(can only
make elemental ummoning material and spirit foci). He gets to add his
initiate level to the number of bound spirit he can have and can use
centering for conjuration. End of mechanical difference. Of course, the
outlook of such a character would be different than any other
"traditions" as he does not recognize "traditional" separation.
