Contracting is a common ability found in Rewrite.
History[]
Contracting is a skill used by special humans called summoners with natural or manmade objects called familiars. The ability to contract has existed for thousands of years, it begins with a person mentally finding a spot in an object (Familiars, shikigami, or doll) and putting some of their own life-force in it; the person (summoner) shares all of the object's senses and can gain special attributes from it.
