And you want _upkeep_ for all summoned troops? Where in Dog's name is this justified? If I summon ... undead, I slit a throat, and I have zombies. Why would they cost upkeep? If I conjure sea monkeys, I enticed them with the gems I offered in the casting. Demons, I offer some souls up front - I don't offer them "20 souls, plus 5 souls a month amortized and averaged over the per diem cost per soul in Ulm."

Makes perfect sense to me, thematically anyway. This way if I don't keep my 7/7 flying trampling Lord of the Pit well fed with blood slaves, he will come to my capital and personally kill my pretender.
