One more thing I would like to note is that I believe the elemental summoning spells to have been beefed up a little too much in Zen's spell mod. I love them, but I can't help but think they're too good. For 2 gems, my lvl 2 earth-casting smiths can 'summon earthpower' then cast 'living earth' to summon 4 elementals! I think each one can do that twice per battle, if you give them maybe 4-6 gems each. That's 8 elementals! Maybe it should be like: lesser elemental is 100 fatigue, normal elemental is 150, living earth is 200 or something. Being all at 100 fatigue is really probably too good.
Problem is the gem cost is hardwired to the fatigue; prior to Zen's mods, hardly anyone ever summoned the elementals in battle because of the gem cost. On the other paw, one version he had the elementals costing zero gems! Can't remember who it was, but someone immediately realized that taking 10 in an elemental path meant you could essentially spam elementals forever (especially since the AI favors summoning even when it shouldn't).
