Default Re: Worst Summon ??

Corpse Man Construction is a level-one spell, and would be useful early on for someone who had a death-1 air-1 mage (and preferably, a lightning rod) to make an amphibious army (IIRC that they can go underwater like most undead).

It's not an impressive spell, but that's appropriate for a level-one spell, no?

I have used it in MP, but only because I had a Staff of Storms available which I didn't want to use for other purposes, and a death-1 air-1 mage without anything better to do. Seemed like a pretty decent way thing to do with a temporarily-idle staff of storms.

That's something to keep in mind when thinking about balance: there are many items which increase magic power level, and sometimes the powerful mages who use them, don't need them for several turns, while they do something else. So weaker mages can borrow powerful items without costing anyone anything, and can thus cast spells which might seem under-powered for the required magic path levels, but are quite good for a weak mage who is borrowing power-boosting items.
