Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
Even when playing Abysia with smoldercone and a ridiculous amount of gems, I never alchemized. It's just not worth it.

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
I'm using alchemy in an ongoing MP game. I've got Turmoil-Luck, and not enough luck  . Got an Eternal Pyre up, and when I'm short of cash, I dip into my fire gems.

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
With the great alchemist it becomes somehow justified to use alchemy, although not enough (in my opinion) to actually choose the pretender.

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
Maybe they all should just double the effects to start with and then a bonus for each magic level above the one required to cast it to make it extra nice in certain occasions.
Even nicer would be some "special effects" a few extra, stronger, nasty beasts if the mage has certain other paths... "summon this creature" that now gives 10 would then give 20, and 5 extra for each higher magic level of the path the spells is in (maybe with a cap at 30) but if you had death magic too 5 of them would be ethereal. And if you had earth magic 5 of them would be better armoured, or there would be a bonus extra summon of a complete other type a drake of the magic path you have.
(hmm a lot of extra creature types that would mean, some programming too I guess.. but I'm just dreaming here and IMHO it would be fun.)

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
Well, you could mod it in by creating several versions of the same spell with different secondary paths. (Of course, not possible for spell that are already multi-pathed, and you can't get double bonuses.
