Pet Summoning and Command Skills

The Lore-master may summon Pets to aid them in battle. Only 1 Pet may be active at a time. 3 Pets are gained through leveling, 3 are gained through traits in the Keeper of Animals trait tree, and 1 is gained by specializing in the Ancient Master. Lore-masters have several command skills they can use to control their Pets. Upon using a Command skill, the currently summoned Pet uses their respective skill (Minor, Major, Raging, Protection). Yellow and Blue-line Lore-masters have different Minor Pet abilities, and Blue-line Lore-masters are the only ones that have access to Raging and Protection skills.
