How is corpse man or summon drakes always useful? They're useless unless you have the item. Their transition from utterly useless to useful based entirely on the item/spell required isn't 'scaling' at all.

Yes it is scaling, as you after research the items, lightning rod construction 2, staff of storms lvl 6 and Igor Konhelms Tome lvl 8. You would probably start casting corpse man when you get lightning rod.

Corpse Man Construction does require some effort to set up but once you get it going, it runs automatically, auto monthly summons.

I am not a fan of drakes summons myself, I never cast those spells, not efficient use of gems. So I agree with you drakes are not very useful at present.
