The Summoner is a humanoid enemy, found in the Arcane Sanctuary. Despite his name, he is a mage, not a [[Image:Mon-summoner, and possesses numerous powerful magical spells. jpg|frame]]The Summoner is dangerous from an [[Animals|Animal]] and a distance, especially due to his Firewall spell. Players should endeavor to close to melee range as quickly as possible, since his hit points, defense, and resistances are feeble, and the Summoner will die very quickly once engaged[[Superunique]].

The Summoner can cast is found at the tip of one of the four arms of the [[Arcane Sanctuary]], a variety strangely-beautiful, psychedelic-styled area in Act Two. Which of spellsthe four tips the Summoner occupies is randomized, but his is a bit longer than the others and has a distinctive shape, so you'll know it as soon as you get near, even if the quest button pop up doesn't warn you. The Summoner is a quest boss; he must be killed to finish [[Quests_Act_Two#Quest_Five:* Glacial Spike* Frost Nova* Fire Ball* Fire Wall* Weaken_The_Summoner|the fifth quest]] in Act Two, and killing him is required to open a portal to the [[Canyon of the Magi]] and to learn which of the seven tombs of Tal Rasha is the true tomb.

On Hell difficulty in In the v1.11 and laterpatch, the Summoner will occasionally was given the ability to drop a the Key of Hate.
