Best Answer

A normal summon is where you just summon a monster and NOT use its effect or ability, just its ATK and DEF.

A special summon is where you summon a card and use its effect or ability. You can only special summon a card if you have another card saying that you can special summon a card, you cannot just going around special summoning every monster.

How do you use the wolf scrolls in runescape?

Summoning scrolls are used to invoke special moves of familiars within the Summoning skill. These scrolls are created by using Summoning pouches on a Summoning obelisk. Each pouch will transform into 10 scrolls. When a special move is used, the "Special moves" points will be reduced a certain number (see below) and the player will receive additional summoning XP (XP is only gained for manually activating a scroll in the player's inventory and not for scrolls activated by enchanted headgear).
