Summoning

Summoning is an ability that QT3 has, around which most of the missions revolve. It allows you to open up a menu filled with bubbles containing animated images; these are some preexisting ones, and others that you gain through opening presents on various planets.

Summoning in one of these objects will cause it to appear in the world as an animated character, sometimes able to speak, surrounded by white paper to look like a drawing or sticker.

Purpose:
Most of the character missions that QT3 encounters require, at some point, summoning in something that the character wants. Several objects will usually work, so the player can be creative with what they choose.

Backfire:
Sometimes, attempting to summon in an object will result in a backfire. This causes a random thing to appear instead of whatever you are trying to summon. You will then have to try again.
