Summoner (Final Fantasy III)

The Summoner is a job class in Final Fantasy III gained from the Earth Crystal. Summoners are magic users who have harnessed the power of high summoning—the ability to call forth a combined Black and White Magic effect. Summoner is considered to be a powered-up version of the Evoker job.
Final Fantasy III marks the series's first appearance of the Summoner job class, as well as summoned monsters and the Summon command.

==Non-Final Fantasy guest appearances==
===Bravely Default===
The Conjurer is a job obtained by defeating Sage Yulyana, the creator of the Asterisks, at Yulyana Woods Needleworks, at the end of a sub-scenario that takes place in Chapter 6.
The Summoner and Conjurer asterisks reference the Evoker and Summoner jobs from Final Fantasy III. The Summoner focuses on the use of summons with their default functions, similar to the Evoker. The Conjurer allows for the use of summons with a more powerful effect, similar to the Summoner. In addition, both the Summoner of Final Fantasy III and Conjurer of Bravely Default share the same Japanese name: "Spirit World Illusionist" .
==Behind the scenes==
In Final Fantasy XVI, when the final boss performs the Eikon abilities of Bahamut, Shiva, Odin, Titan, and Ramuh in the Japanese version, he will exclaim Bahamur , Icen , Catastro , Hyper , and Spark , respectively. All five names reference their associated summon spells for the Evoker and Summoner jobs from Final Fantasy III.
