This stat grants arcanists the ability to summon minions to aid them in
combat. A minion is brought about by the arcanist summoning a bound spirit and
placing it into the body of either a pet animal, or an inanimate but
mechanically-flexible toy or other object. It costs 1.0% life force to summon
a minion.

Minion info
See information about your minion.

To summon a minion, make a custom attack with the msummon special and use it
in
combat, minions generally take around 2 rounds in combat to arrive. You can
only summon one minion per fight, unless you possess either the Call of the
Grave or the Call of Nature legendary power.

Each rank of the minions stat allows you to spend 150,000 combat experience on
your minion. Additionally, every point invested into the Arcane Focus stat
allows you to invest an additional 10 points into the minion’s defenses. Note
that without the Elemental Spirits power, your minion will only have the
capability to make melee attacks.

When a minion’s defenses fail, the spirit flees and the minion goes back to
being a regular animal or the object it was before. A minion whose master has
died, however, will remain in combat.
