Humanoid Summons

>>54361831
The earliest attested literature we have for summoning rituals which produce humanoids is the Homeric cycle, in which Odysseus performs a rite to summon the spirit of the prophet Tiresias.

So a few millennia before the weeaboo shit you have in mind.

Shitposting aside, the idea of summoning spirits is prehistoric and in virtually every human culture (barring ones in which religious faiths have outlawed such practices, and even then a person with less than charitable views toward Catholicism might regard the invocation of the saints as such). So you need to be a little more specific in your inquiry. What sort of "magic system" are you looking for?

It's probably nearly about as old as the concept of magic in fiction, so who the fuck knows?
