Witch L1 to L22 - how to Summon Skeletons/Mages?

I tried googling for the good half day, for text, videos instructions but am failing very awfully.

Am able to Raise Zombies, Auto-Summon 2x Skeletal Warriors (after death), but do not know ...

how to Summon Minions before the Command (Skill buttons) and Direct (game->options->key bind) .. i'm in despair. Ty for your answers.

Minions ("Summons") reserve a Ressource called "Spirit".

Zombies are temporarely and are using "corpse"
Your 2 Skelli Warrior are, estimated, from your Sceptre granted Skill.

In Order to Summons Minion youll need to "cut" a Skillgem, via "Uncut Skill Gem Level x" Occult section.

This Gem has to be socketed and may be powered up via "Supportgems"
You also may see somekind of counter. 0 -1 -2.... this will raise said Mionion each reserving X Spirit.

Each summoned Minion will automatically reraise after dying.
The skills youre able to bind at your Skillbar are the "active" Ability granted by your Miniongem.
Minions do their stuff mostly passive, with a "burst" active for you to trigger.


You may also want to check the Ingameinformationen via little "i"

Hiya, thanks for your time and reply.
I discovered after 2 days of searches ..

Summon Minions (is a automatic, timer countdown) is managed under
Skills Panel -> DPS Value or Counter with a Minus - and Plus + sign to reserve Spirits (value per minion).

Not a lot of youtubers, nor intuitive tooltip to instruct, .. Fortunately I'm desperate enough to hang in lvl4-lvl25 gameplay time underpowered all the way.

Thanks to all helpful attempts to aid me .. via Chat/Forum here responses.
Cheers.
