Jomon's new summons (how is Jomon now?)

[VedalkenBear]

Having experimented a bit, I can say that it is at least very interesting for Jomon.

One very interesting fact now is that Jomon can bootstrap Nature summons without making enhancers. Jigami requires 1N, has 2N. Kitsune requires 2N, has 3N (I believe). If Jomon can get access to Nature gems early, they can also start pumping out researchers. Given their wide variety of magic, Alteration to Mother Oak and then moving to Conjuration to get their summons may be viable.

For the same reason (wide variety of magic), I don't think that Jomon should have any Death magic inherent. They already can get 4 different paths at 2 (Fire, Air, Water, Astral) and 2 paths at 3 (Earth, Nature) without too much of a problem. Do you really want to give them more?

Also, has no one seen the Shikigami? More or less Ethereal sacred crows. Given an appropriate bless (say, 9S), they can be quite useful as harassment to keep troops in place and away from your Onmyoji. I do wish there were a way to summon them apart from auto-summoning.

A couple of events I've seen since the patch that I haven't seen before is a negative one that kills a Sohei and a Yamabushi if they're in the same province, and one where a kannushi (didn't have one in province, but there was a temple there) calmed a bandit leader, and I got about 10 Ronin.
