You overlap your hands, palm to palm so that your left hand is on top. You then slide them against each other to spark the mana. You point your left hand down at the ground and use it to draw a circle in the air while you cross fingers on your right hand; index and middle crisscross at the same time your ring and pinkie fingers cross.

A summoning circle appears on the ground, glowing with bluish-white light.

"Summoning spells are the expertise of the Danforths, Ruby's family," you say. "Again, I'm only adept at the lower levels, while Ruby is a young master of the art. At my level, I can really only summon..."

*whoo whoo whoosh!* Energy swirls and... *Bwii~* A glimmering white squirrel.

"A squirrel?" Raven says.

"Well it was either that, a rabbit, or a chicken," you say. "But given how you feel about rabbits and chickens, I chose to play nice and go with the bushy tailed Eastern gray squirrel. I would've modeled him after a Red Squirrel but then he wouldn't be red anyway."

"How am I supposed to be scared of a squirrel?" Raven asks as she touches down on the ground.

"Well, you see, it once again comes down to math," you say. "For the same amount of mana Ruby could summon a wolf or a bull, I can summon..."

You swipe your left hand wide from one side to the other, creating dozens of summoning circles!

"This many squirrels!" you shout.

You uncross your fingers and use both hands to signal the squirrels. You bring your hands together, and the squirrels converge on Raven's position!

"Hey!" she shouts as the squirrels climb up her cloak and legs. "Stop~! Th-That tickles! Ah!"

Raven levitates away, but the squirrels cling to her. Raven's ticklishness causes her to drift and dip sporadically as she laughs uncontrollably.

"No! Stop!" she says through giggles. "How... How am I supposed to combat these?"

"Well, they're not real squirrels, so don't feel bad if you throw them around or get a bit rough with them. The other way is to break the summon circles, or incapacitate the summoner."

Raven uses her aura to become like a shadow, and she dips into the ground to slip through the grasp of the squirrels. She surges towards you, you command for the squirrels to pursue. Raven leaps from the shadow and throws a punch, you lean back to dodge. Raven throws a high roundhouse kick, you slap it away at her knee. Raven goes to throw another punch, but the squirrels anchor her via her cloak.

"Ack!" Raven says as she feels the cloak tug at her neck.

"Keep trying," you say as you make another circle behind you.

Raven uses her magical telekinesis to toss the squirrels off, you pick up your new summon.

"Bawkaaa~!" the hen squawks loudly.

"Ah!!" Raven blurts as she flails and falls back.

Raven falls to the floor, and the squirrels scramble all over her.

"Stop!" she blurts as she starts getting tickled again. "I... *laugh* It's too much."

"If you can't even handle squirrels, how will you be able to take on more advanced animals?" you ask as you set the chicken down. "Ruby can summon hawks, wolves, bulls, snakes, spiders, things that are far more dangerous than just little bushy squirrels and chickens."

The chicken you summoned clucks as it walks off to the side.

"Don't feel like you have to hold back," you say. "Summon Constructs like these are tougher than normal animals. You can fight them and not feel bad."

Raven grunts as she grabs all the squirrels with her magic. She then levitates them off her body.

"Though, mutilating them would still be cruel and unusual," you say quickly.
