Arcanist holding a Carbuncle

Carbuncle is a bunny/fox-esque companion summoned by Arcanist and Summoner.

General information

Arcanist and Summoner can spawn their pets with the actions Summon Carbuncle.png  Summon Carbuncle, Summon Ruby.png  Summon Ruby, Summon Topaz.png  Summon Topaz, and Summon Emerald.png  Summon Emerald. Each type has a different spell style and associated element. The three Summoning Mastery upgrades the Summoner receives between level 30 and level 45 change the Summoner's pet from a Carbuncle into various Egi. Similarly, if an Arcanist becomes a Scholar, they no longer summon a Carbuncle and instead summon a healing faerie.

Alphinaud has a special Moonstone Carbuncle, that heals with the same spells as Eos.

Lore

Using geometric symbols to lend shape to living aether, certain mages can unlock the latent power within certain gemstones-a power which can be directed to the "summoning" of aetherial beings known as Carbuncles. The inherent traits displayed by these familiars differ depending on the stone used in their creation- emerald and topaz being the most common, with ruby and diamond also proving popular.
