Construction 8

[Omnirizon]

actually, the question is:
"is there a reason to learn 8 at all?"

of course, there is. but going from 6 to 8 is a _big_ step (especially on difficult research). getting to 8 and having the artifacts you want (or any artifacts at all, for that matter) available isn't guaranteed. if I do decide to research to 8 and their aren't artifacts I wanted available, then I've really wasted a _bunch_ of research time. is it worth it to take the risk and go for it? or do I just forget it and reach for worthwhile summons and strong evoc?

I think that's the question. Whenever I go for Const8, I'm always disappointed, someone else seems to always rush straight for it and make everything.
