Summoner
Summoners are based around conjuring images of creatures to aid them in fights. These images have no connection to the creature itself, and have no consciousness of their own, hence they obey every command their summoner gives. Some of the creatures a summoner summons are similar to other creatures in the game (e.g. the Suffering Nightmare looks the same as some other nightmares like the Crypt Fiend).

Attributes

 * Conjuring: Primary Attribute. For every 2 ranks in Conjuring your summoned allies heal for 1% more health and deal 1% more damage, and for every 3 ranks you can sustain 1.5 more summoned creatures at a time. Many skills, including those that raise the effectiveness of your summoned creatures and recover energy, are made more effective with higher ranks in Conjuring.


 * Calling: No inherent effect. Many skills, including those that summon creatures for them to use a single skill to damage a single or multiple targets, are made more effective with higher ranks in Calling.


 * Creation: No inherent effect. Many skills, including those that summon creatures that damage single or multiple targets for a long period of time, are made more effective with higher ranks in Creation.


 * Serenity: No inherent effect. Many skills, including those that summon creatures to heal or protect allies, or deal holy or lightning damage, are made more effective with higher ranks in Serenity.

(Note: although not directly stated in the description you can always have at at least one summoned creature up at rank 0, and 2 at rank 3, 4 at rank 6, 5 at 9...)

Armor Styles
Summoners wear mostly loose long robes of ribbon-like streaks sewn together with simple shapes of varying sizes containing the "head" of creatures on them sewn in between of onto the rest of the robes. The icon for Hex Eater Signet somewhat shows the pattern, only the cricle fills more of the space and there's probably a cude image of an imp head in the circle.
