There is not one summoning spell. Summoning is a complex thing. You shouldn't try commanding something either. Just read the basics, there's enough here on SoM.

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be attempting anything like that. Its advanced work and only someone who has mastered all the basics and many advanced skills should try it. Even then, my basic rule is that if you don't know how or what to do....it is out of your skill and knowledge set...therefore do not try.

How am I to learn if not try. I learn more by doing instead of studying.

One mistake is all it takes. If summoning is anything like I understand it to be, you could open the possibility for demons or other dark entities to attack you. Not in a physical sense. But if done incorrectly, or without proper precautions, summoning can bring a lot of quite negative things with it. It depends on the specifics of the summoning you're doing, but if it's calling out to a spirit or something similar, there's a reasonable chance some darker energies will come flocking to your call as well. And they don't just want to chat would be my guess.

But as others have said, such things are far too complex for a beginner. You have to understand how these things work, and the basics behind them. You cannot just simply go out and do it. That's a good way not only to fail, but to even hurt yourself. You won't get anywhere without knowing the basics first. I advise you take the advice of others, and study them first.

One doesn't just stand up and say "I'm going to create a new fuel cell" and then create a new fuel cell. One must first study the concepts of physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. And then one might likely create a few more basic devices learning how they work so as to actually create what it is your end goal is.

Evocation (summoning) is like this. You must learn the nature of magic and spirits and the like before you actually work with them. This isn't learning to tie your shoes. This is learning the process through which one calls a spirit and communicates with it safely.
