Summon (Grimoire of Souls)

Summon is a gameplay mechanic that appears in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. By using Gems, players can acquire weapons, sub weapons, and armor at random. All items available through summoning are at least 2★.
When summoning, the player could originally choose which of the three types of equipment they wanted, but this ability has been removed for the Apple Arcade release. Currently there is no way to control which items are received. If a duplicate item is received, it will be converted to 100 pieces of Parchment. A player can get a free summon once per day, and after that each one costs 300 Gems. By spending 3000 Gems, ten items can be summoned at once, but as of the Apple Arcade release, this does not guarantee that at least one of the ten will be 4★ or higher.
At times, there would be in-game events that changed the probability of summoning certain items. Referred to as "Pick-up Summons", each one selected up to five pieces of gear and made them more likely to appear. These events no longer appear in the current release.

==Trivia==
*It is stated that summoned equipment is "blessed by the goddess with divine providence", presumably referring to the angelic statue shown during summoning rituals. However, no other info is available about this goddess.
