Heh. Better "wasting" gems on fire drakes than wasting them on elemental royalty, unique devils, etc, when they're not available. At least you always get a fire drake.

That said : seeing more of the non-unique summonings made worthwhile would be good. (Mechanical men, lamias, statues, and mmm, vine men/ogres are the only non-blood non-commanders I can think of that worth summoning now.) But supposedly some of the unique summonings are toned down in Dom3 - here's hoping.

Another thing that would be awesome : skills or spells or _something_ that could let you have some idea of whether or not all uniques in a category are gone. Blood rite spies, air royalty gossip, someting.

Maybe it would help to make increase the amount of summoned creatures for most spells. Honestly, most summons are not worth the attention of a mage for one whole turn. Three or more might.
