Question before buying!

I've been tossing the idea around in the back of my head for awhile, mostly when these discussions come up. I probably saw someone suggest it before. I'd like to use it, but the issue hasn't bothered me enough to work on it myself.

One way to solve both problems would be to replace "Summon Animals" and similar spells. Not sure I'd like that approach. I'd rather not change the human players options and Summon Animals is occasionally useful.

I've got no real idea what the AI bases its ritual casting decisions on. I know I've seen it use modded summons. My assumption is that making the spells cheaper and easier will make them more likely to be used, but beyond that it's hard to say.

How many spell slots are available? I know there have been mods that added quite a few new summons. How many were you planning on?

Stavis - I saw you asking about what summons the AI likes to use in the other forum. I don't quite think that's appropriate for that thread, but what I see the AI summon most are things like fire snakes, summer lions, spring hawks, fall bears, clockwork horrors, naiad warriors, banes, bane lords, hama dryads, ghosts and shura. I've probably seen other things also, but those are the ones I remember best at present.
