===Material Components for Summoning Spells===

Arcane spells that summon creatures use the material component as a focal point for the materialization of the creature being summoned.  As such, all arcane pet summoning spells essentially have a range of “Thrown Item”.  That is, the caster must take hold of the material component and place it in the location where the creature will appear.  This can be at the caster’s feet, or it can be at the feet of a nearby enemy, as long as the material component is still within Close range.

Additionally, all material components must be customized to the caster using them.  It is not possible for a necromancer, for example, to summon a skeletal minion using any old piece of bone that he sees nearby.  Refer to the information on the new skill [[Norrathians: Trade Skill (Arcana)|Trade Skill (arcana)]] for a complete explanation.
