You could free some points by counting in any booster items you might be building, mainly Winged Helmet and Bag of Air. I don't recall if they are Constr. 4 or not... If they are higher, it might not be worth it. Also, with Earth Boots on your sage you get to Earth-3 and Dwarven hammer. Use it!

How many Queens exist? I think all Elemental Royals are limited in number. I thought they all were limited to two or three.

So the question then being...how did he get 10 queens? A bug? Maybe you start getting duplicates after the first 2/3?

The trouble is he was using Version 2.02

In the older Version, you can get multiple royalty summons (kinda funny to have duplicate ones, I tried this out before and got 4 Queens with 1 duplicate). But there are supposedly only 3 Air Elemental Queens, they are:

Aella, able to summon Air Elemental
Nephele, able to summon Sylph
Thuella, most melee-combat queen, 4 attacks.

Similarly, only 3 Queens of Elemental Water, 3 Kings of Elemental Earth (one being a blood summon, Illearth), and 3 Kings of Elemental Fire (one being a death summon, Banefire) exist.

Outside of elemental royalties, other unique summons include 5 Arch Devils, 4 Heliophagus, 3 Demon Lords, 6 Ice Devils, and 3 Treelord.

But still even with three queens, it's worth the effort. In the game I had one queen of thunder, one queen of storm and 8 queens of cloud (all 8 cloud queens had the same name, Nephele).

BTW: What was the spell name of Djinn summoning?

The Air Queen is by far the best Elemental Queen/King, isn't she?

Anthrax is good too. Fire resistance doesn't help against his Banefire shield.
