Trust spells call forth Alter Egos of NPCs. Their primary function is to facilitate solo leveling.

Usage

 * You can call forth up to 3 Alter Egos at a time. In addition to this, you can also call your Adventuring Fellow.
 * You can call up to 4 Alter Egos after obtaining Rhapsody in White.
 * You can call up to 5 Alter Egos after obtaining Rhapsody in Crimson. (Note: If one has summoned 5 Alter Egos, and summons the Adventuring Fellow next, all Alter Egos get dismissed. One must always make sure that there's a slot for the Fellow before summoning it).
 * You can only summon one copy of each alter ego. This includes when one character has multiple versions (e.g. summoning Zeid II prevents summoning Zeid).
 * These alter egos support you in battle with the strategies and tactics you've come to expect from them.
 * Alter egos do not act except in battle, which officially starts after engaging and meleeing once. They will stop acting when you disengage.
 * If you kill a monster and auto-target another that has aggroed, some alter egos will cast spells on it, but they will not melee until you melee.
 * Trust magic can only be cast when not already involved in battle.
 * Certain instanced content will allow summoning even after initial aggro, but not after the player takes direct action on the monster or another player that has taken direct action.
 * Trusts us a wide verity of weapon skills, and will frequently attempt weapon Skll Chains, and corresponding Magic Bursts. Just like in regular parties, careful consideration of what weapon skills a trust can use will result in better performance overall. Try pairing your trusts with other trusts they can perform these high impact moves with.
 * Because information on who can chain with whom is not well documented, players are advised to do their own research and experimentation.
 * Trust NPCs do not affect your experience gain.
 * Trust NPCs' levels and attributes vary based upon the summoning player’s level and/or Item Level.
 * For regular levels, Trust NPCs don't automatically level with the player. They must be dismissed and resummoned to match the player's level. Item Level changes are reflected immediately, which can be problematic with gear swapping.
 * Trust NPCs are not affected by zone potions obtained in blue caskets.
 * Trust Magic does not cause magic aggro.
 * Trust Magic cannot be cast while silenced.
 * Alter Egos are dismissed if the player is Charmed.
 * Alter Egos no longer despawn when spawning Voidwatch NM, making them usable during these battles.
 * Initiation quests for the Trust initiative are available, and you learn the first spell as you progress. Additional Alter Egos can be unlocked through completing various missions and quests.
 * Some NPCs, however, can only be obtained by trading specific items to an NPC offering the initiation quest. New Trust spells will continuously be added in future version updates.
 * Trust magic is not available in all areas or types of battle content, but may be expanded in the future.
 * See Alter Ego for area availability.

Notes on Jobs

 * Some alter egos don't conform to the job system.
 * Special alter-egos act very differently compared to players. They may also have a regular job as well.
 * Monster alter-egos are non-humanoids that use their species' special moves. They may also have a regular job as well.
 * Passive alter-egos are non-interactive NPCs that give a bonus as an aura. Most are technically Geomancers, but do not have to cast or recast. They cannot be interacted with in any way and will do nothing else but follow the leader.
 * Some alter egos have Auto Refresh, but no other indication of what subjob they possess.

Usage in Parties

 * Players can summon alter egos while in a party containing other players.
 * Only the party leader is able to summon forth alter egos.
 * Alliances cannot be formed when in a party comprised of both players and alter egos.
 * Alter egos can now be used in Level Sync parties.
 * After adding a new party member Alter Egos are automatically dismissed and there is a short lockout period before being able to re-summon them.
 * In addition, alter egos cannot be summoned for 120 seconds after being invited to a party as a temporary measure in order to prevent a separate bug from occurring.
 * Phantom Roll is affected by Trusts' main jobs, e.g. Zeid II gives a bonus to Chaos Roll.
