Saul had introduced a new skill called Customization. It reduced the need for Orion's crafts to be of an equal or higher rank than the summon for it to work.
Customization allowed the summoner to clothe the summon with any armour or weapon he or she wanted. Whatever change they made would become permanent until they decided they wanted something else.
This was the kind of skill Orion had, but his was painless, and since his tier wasn't able to catch up to the age of Progenitors and gods, Customization swiftly replaced him. Unfortunately, the sensation of engraving armour onto a summon was no different from engraving metal to the soul, and the pain was unbearable to most.
However, Arnold and Alora had clearly customized their summons despite the drawbacks.
Alora's summon, Lora, flickered and reappeared on the mezzanine. "We were given an order. I have no idea why you haven't attacked him." Alora's Insect Knight's greatsword gleamed with silvery light while her summoner spoke.
