| have not found a way to summon one but would like to learn.
"Shikigami (式神) are a kind of spirit summoned to serve a practitioner of onmyōdō, much like a western familiar. Shikigami cannot be seen by most people, but according to the Heian period onmyōji who were said to control them, shikigami often looked something like a child-sized oni demon. Although invisible, shikigami supposedly could, at the onmyōji's command, take a variety of human or animal forms, possess or bewitch people, and even cause bodily harm or death.
The famous onmyōji Abe no Seimei was believed to be particularly skilled at manipulating shikigami, and even had them performing odd jobs around the house. The Twelve Heavenly Generals were said to be among the shikigami that he employed" | |

| Summoning, thats the easy part. But you have to be able to control what you summon. That's the hard part!
Strong Or weak it's all the same when you summon it. What isn't the same is how easy it is to control them!
Beware! Not to summon something stronger then what you can control... | |

| Well, it all depends on what kind of shikigami you want and how strong it is. For example, a small elemental spirit used to maintain the health of a plant is simple and will usually obey without question, but a BIG Oni will probably require an offering of suitable food and a high amount of respect before it will listen and obey. You can always attempt to force it to listen, but that's extremely unethical and rude. | |
