What sort of effects can you produce with Summoning & Abjuration? The two are closely linked... Summoning is the art of calling things to you while Abjuration is the art of driving things away.
Summoning: the art of drawing creatures towards you. It works best on magical entities, many of which are quite vulnerable to this form of magic. Summoning doesn't have to call living creatures, either. Necromancy is a form of summoning in which the spirit of a dead person is summoned back at the caster's behest.
Abjuration: the art of driving things away. This creates regions where certain creatures or effects cannot pass without first overcoming the strength of the Abjuration. Magical creatures are, again, quite vulnerable to these effects. Some interesting effects are banishing diseases by driving them out of a person or containing a creature inside a pentagram by surrounding them with a barrier of Abjuration which prevents almost all action or movement.
Wards: the art of establishing barriers through which things can pass, but not without the caster sensing it. This can be used to set up "triggered" spells or simple alarms.
