The Cora Summoner is the only class capable of summoning an Animus.
There are four different types of Animus: Hecate, Inanna, Isis, and Paimon
(more details on these below). Similar to summoning systems in other
games, the summoner can only have one Animus summoned at a time.

Each Animus, as it is used, gains its own experience and levels, allowing it
to grow in strength and change shape. Because of this, a summoner
proficient with Isis may not be with Paimon, for example.
Should an Animus die in combat, it will automatically unsummon itself while
it rests and regains HP. Graziers, the level 40 summoner end-class,
gain additional abilities to heal and further augment their summoned Animus.
