Dragons

[Unbound]

Dragons can be invoked or evoked, many are helpful, although gaining a familiar doesn't just happen through summoning, you have to open yourself to bond with the dragon.

Of course, perhaps you mean a different kind of dragon aha

What is the difference between invoking and evoking? In both cases, I imagine, one would be able to interact/talk with one if they knew how right? And directly contacting one was not my intent during the first post of meine. Saying it because I bit.

Invoking is to call one within you, evoking is to call one before you. Evokation is powerful and can be very dangerous and not recommended to unskilled summoners.

Invokation is common to most rituals and the majority of "channeling" is a phenomenon of invokation. One also invokes when they pray, or "call" to an entity, guide or force.

Evokation is to call an entity to be experienced externally, and has many dangers for both its capacity to be misused/go awry and its difficulty to perform and maintain. There are, of course, individuals which are able to use this method positively, although sadly there are more often attempts to evoke "beings of power" by naive sorcerors or magicians who seek knowledge or power than legitimate, benevolent workings of this type.
