Summons become available during Sora's second visit to Traverse Town. If you bring rare summon gems the Fairy Godmother (located in Merlin's Study), she will help Sora learn how to summon various characters to aid him in battle. Other summons are acquired from story events.
Summons are called upon using the Summons option in the Command Menu. Using a summon requires a minimum amount of MP, and both of your party members must be present and conscious.
You can equip select Keychains and Accessories to increase your summoning power! To extend the length of time summons are active, equip the Cheer ability to each party member.

Simba
Simba is acquired by giving the Fairy Godmother Earthshine, provided to Sora by Leon during Sora's second visit to Traverse Town. When summoned, Simba's roar can be used to damage enemies in a wide area. Hold the 
button to fill the CHG gauge; release the button to unleash Simba's Proud Roar attack. Bear in mind that any damage taken while filling the CHG gauge will interrupt the process. Costs 2 MP.
Bambi
Bambi is acquired by giving the Fairy Godmother Naturespark, awarded to Sora by returning the first Torn Page to the Hundred Acre Wood. When summoned, Bambi will release MP orbs whenever he is near Sora. As Sora defeats Heartless, Bambi's CHG gauge fills. When this gauge fills completely, Bambi will drop restoratives and synthesis items, and these items increase in quality and rarity every time the CHG gauge is filled completely. Use the table below to determine which areas to summon Bambi for maximum effectiveness. Costs 1 MP.
