Real

A "real champion" is a champion that doesn't have summoned and is not an illusion. Usually real champions are deployed from the rune dock, but they can arise in other ways as well. For example, the relic Graveyard creates skeletons that do not have summoned (thus said to be "spawned") and champions created from Swarm are also real champions.

Many runes and abilities simply say "non-summoned, non-illusion champion" in their description, but there are some which state "real champion".
