}}
Magnus Cadence is the current head of house Cadence and a renowned [[Valia|Valian]] duelist. He's the father of Corin Cadence and has the Shaper [[Attunement]] from the Serpent Spire.

== Appearance and Personality ==
He is a tall athletic man who has streaks of grey in hair and is noted by Corin to be the perfect image of a nobleman. Like most Valians, he considers combat focused attunements to be of higher value and considers Corin a failure for getting an [[Enchanter]] instead. He took Corin out of school and beat him over the course of several years to prepare the boy for his own [[Judgement]]. This repeated abuse gave Corin trauma and scars that Magnus disregards.

== Abilities ==
He possesses a Shaper attunement which he is very proficient with. It allows him to create solid objects out of mana that give him versatility in a fight and an edge over other combat focused attunements. Corin noted him as being one of the strongest people he'd ever met. His skills allowed him to earn his reputation as a duelist.

}}
"Lord" Jonathan Teft is a nobleman instructor at Lorian Heights Academy and overseer of the Hydra Division. He possesses a Shaper [[Attunement]] which he uses to create [[simulacra]]. He also possesses an [[Enchanter]] attunement that he does not showcase. He appears to have some history with [[Magnus Cadence]] as he winced when his name was mentioned.

== Appearance and Personality ==
Teft is a conventionally handsome nobleman who dresses unusually. He has blonde hair and perfect teeth along with carefully sculpted eyebrows. His first appearance is during Chancellor Wallace's commencement speech, where he's wearing a bright purple suit and holding a normal wooden cane that he carries around with him everywhere.

He is a strict teacher who believes that support attuned such as Enchanters shouldn't be allowed into dueling class. Despite his bias, he allows [[Corin Cadence]] to attend his class after proving himself. Teft's tests are designed to surprise his students and force them to think outside the box. He's always testing his students in one form or another. Teft also likes to play around to a certain degree and is quite cocky. Apart from that, Lord Teft takes the well being of his students carefully, reminding them to recharge their shield sigils and making sure that they do not suffer any long lasting damage, sometimes even pushing himself to his limit defending them. His devotion to the goddess is very strong as he was concerned about [[Derek Hartigan]] spiritual health when the latter went to gather information at a casino.

== Abilities ==
Teft possesses a Shaper attunemment, one of the best combat focused attunements due to their versatility. He uses this attunement mainly to make simulacra to fight for him. He also possesses an Enchanter attunement which he has not been shown to use at all throughout the series.

[[Category:Contract Attunements]]
The '''Summoner''' [[attunement]] is one of the most versatile attunements available, due to it being a [[:Category:Contract Attunements|contract-based attunement]]. Summoners are known for their ability to form lasting contracts with [[monsters]], and summon copies of those monsters. The summoner attunement grants the attuned access to [[air mana]] and [[transference mana]], along with their combination: [[travel mana]]<ref name=aa2-r>''On the Shoulders of Titans'' Recap - Attunements</ref>. At citrine, it grants access to [[life mana]]. Additionally, summoners can negotiate for the use of a monster's mana when creating a contract, giving them theoretical access to any type of mana<ref name=aa1-7>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 7</ref>. The summoner attunement is most commonly found in the [[Serpent Spire]] in [[Valia]]<ref name=aa2-r />, but has been known to be found in other spires under some circumstances, such as by those who gained a [[God Beast]] contract in their first [[judgment]]<ref name=aa3-2>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 2</ref>.

== Attunement Features ==

''Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.''

=== Contracts ===

The primary ability granted by the summoner attunement is creating contracts. Summoners can create negotiate with spire monsters to create a binding contract, where the summoner grants the monster a portion of their mana in exchange for mana, abilities, and the ability to summon figments of the spire monster<ref name=aa1-5>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 5</ref>. Summoners can also make contracts with non-sentient monsters, and those unable to communicate, albeit with less of an ability to negotiate<ref name=aa1-5 />. While this typically requires access to the original monster, summoned figments with the ability to use sorcery can negotiate on behalf of the original. Because of this, some summoners will sometimes bind a monster with access to sorcery, then use that binding to summon a copy at a later time, which they can negotiate a contract with<ref name=aa1-16>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 16</ref>.

=== Bindings ===

The summoner attunement grants access to a binding spell, which allows the summoner to create a weak bond with a monster. Unlike a true contract, this does not require the monster's consent, but only grants the ability to summon a [[figment]] of that monster. Because this requires about the same amount of mana as a contract while providing fewer benefits, bindings are rarely used permanently<ref name=aa1-15>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 15</ref>.

=== Summoning Figments ===

If a summoner has a contract or binding with a monster, they gain the ability to summon a [[figment]] of that monster<ref name=aa1-7>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 7</ref>. While figments are typically weaker than the original monster, it is possible for a summoner to create a figment more powerful than the original, or a modified version, such as using an ogre contract and fire mana to summon a fire ogre<ref name=aa1-15 />.

=== True Summoning ===

In addition to summoning a figment of a spire monster, some contracts allow the summoner to cast a "true summoning" spell, which physically moves the original spire monster to the summoner's location<ref name=aa3-16>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 16</ref>.

=== Modified Growth Rate ===

Due to it being a contract-based attunement, the summoner attunement has several distinct features that make it different from traditional attunements. Firstly, mana taken up by a contract or binding is permanently used until that contract or binding is released, and thus will not count toward the attunement level<ref name=aa1-19>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 19</ref>. Additionally, summoners grow faster than other attuned due to the exchange of mana through contracts, making it typically groew faster than other attuned<ref name=aa3-2>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 2</ref>.
