Summoning items are purchased from Rumor Woods and used to muster a character's mount. They are one of the multiple items involved with the Mount System. Each type of mount uses a different noun for its summoning item.

Reins

Reins are used to summon horse mounts. These include nightmare steeds and unicorns.

Analyze

You analyze your golden leather reins and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is a summoning item and will currently summon: a lithe golden charger, which is a mountable creature that has the following characteristics:

Height: just over 17 hands
Face: white-starred
Ears: pointed
Forelock: sleek
Body: lithe (NOTE: this sets/changes mount article)
Coat: flawless (Optional)
CoatClr: golden (NOTE: this sets/changes mount adjective)
Mane: blunt-cut
ManeQrk: decorated with onyx bands (Optional)
TailQrk: voluminous
TailClr: dark brown
Unique: None set

Summoning devices can now be altered as long as the noun does not change.

USAGE:   HOLD (refresh HOME timer - must be in same room), PULL, WAVE (summon mount)

Mounts cannot be:
- summoned while inside.
- ridden inside or in water.
- used while in combat.  You will be knocked off your mount if you are attacked and may be unable to mount the creature for a short time after combat has ended.

Mounts will:
- return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are summoned and not mounted within 10 minutes.  (HOLD reins to refresh.)
- return to their "home" (either permanent or otherwise) if they are slapped by the owner/summoner.
- remain in their permanent "home" (if you have purchased a stall) indefinitely.
- return to your side if summoned in an appropriate location, regardless of where you left them.

This mount has a permanent stable in Wehnimer's Landing.

You get no sense of whether or not the reins may be further lightened.
