Yes.....with quite a bit of "it depends" though.
Realms of the dead exist, from hellish places to heavens with most souls passing through the realm of the dead before they travel further.

It is possible to summon a being from another realm with the right combination of Abilities, materials and knowledge. The core problem is that summoning someone or something becomes exponentially more taxing the longer an entity is summoned, a typical summoner might be able to maintain a limited summoning for a very few minutes with great concentration and effort.

The process of summoning has been known for a long time and several methods have been developed to get around the issue. Most of these methods rely on a high level of co-operation between the two parties involved. There are risks involved and as such while widely known summoning isnt seen as something that can be relied on.

Delayed Manifestation
This involves performing as much of the work beforehand as possible. A summoner then invokes a prereconstructed summoning to cause an object or being to appear for a short while. This is not completely reliable but useful for communication when the required conditions are met.

Alteration
This allows the use of another's ability through a summoning link.

Possesion
This allows a summoner to place a summoned mind within a local living body. Most places consider this as a modern person would consider slavery.

Other methods of using the potential of summoning may exist.

It is important to note that summoning doesn't work within a single world and requires the summoner to be within another world. This has been used as a test before to determine where the boundaries of a world lie.

Question [FRG] 35
The river of the seasons is one of the larger portals on fragment, what makes it interesting?
