Default Re: Worst Summon ??

Basically, I didn't have high nature mages, except for my pretender and I had better things to do with my pretender than summon tarrasque. Additionally, i had a site with conjuration bonus but none with Construction. So I summoned one Treelord and let him summon tarrasque after that (note that one of the treelords is actually 5N, though I didn't get that one).

Now, i could have forged items to do it but it would have cost a good bit more.

I don't think it qualifies it as a good summons at all...but I felt obliged to mention the one case where I found a use for it

For less gems you could have done exactly the same thing by summoning an Ivy King then given him the item(s) which raise nature magic. Even adding the cost of the forged items still makes the Ivy King cheaper.
