'''Crimson charms''' are used in [[Summoning]] to summon certain creatures. The amount of [[experience]] gained from each charm used varies between 83.2 and 1015.2 depending on the pouch made, making crimson charms the second most powerful charm after [[blue charm]]s. Crimson beats out blue in one aspect — creating a [[Talon beast]] pouch using a Crimson charm gives 1015.2 experience, the highest of any pouch. However, [[Talon beast charm]]s, which are required for the pouch, can be time consuming to obtain.

==Familiars==
