Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Fantasia]

Erm, in FFXI Scholars are capable of summoning but not in the traditional sense (and was only tied toward the lore/NPCs.) They summoned debuff tubes which gives off a Paralyze/Slow/Bind/Silence aura that affects anything in it's range. SE later gave players the ability to buy a temporary version of them during campaign battles.

So summoning isn't out of their reach perse, it just wouldn't be in the traditional sense, it would be more like XIV 1.0's Arcanist if anything.

That's completely different to summoning magic though, comparing "tubes" to the Primals/Avatars is bizarre.
(And sounds exactly like how XI's Geomancer works.)
