NOooo!!! Boo. Hiss. I knew IW had a dislike for giving the Gift to Void summonings! The truth comes out! Squid-heads of the world unite. We must crush this foul, evil idea before it takes firmer root!

The spell name should probably be changed to gift of command then, as reason implies some thinking ability.

The vastness has astral for a reason, namely as a slight bonus when and if anyone tries to make it reasonable, same with the 10 strat move. So no one is going to take that particular toy away from you.

And such a lovely toy indeed it is. Thank you, thank you!

...until Pythium or other astrally powerful nation teleports in some prepared Magic Duelers before you can take advantage of the 10 movement points that turn.

Everything dies to something.

R'lyeh is every bit as capable of teleporting starspawns around as Pythium.

And J.O., you know what's funny ? Back in MoM days one of the worst abuse was to have flying invisible warships to wreck havoc on the whole map !!

Ah, invisible flying warships, how I miss thee. Especially invisible, flying, spell-locked warships. Dispel that! It was fun starting out with flying warships, then upgrading them to invisible, flying, spell-locked, hasted warships.

It was almost as bad as the endless free elementals for a 13(?)-book mage. Especially free air elementals with your invisible flying warships. Just start spawning out the endless hordes of elementals, phantom warriors, and phantom beasts ad-infinitum once you found a random book that made them free. You could even get to the point where you had a graphical glitch of them appearing in the wrong place with the wrong graphic if you did it enough.
