Gift of Reason for Eater of the Dead?

With the high path cost, going postal and low magic resistance... this is one of the summons not worth the gem investment. It's not in the worst summons category, but definitely below average.

Agreed. The Eater of the Dead should've been a match for three or four Vastnesses or Abominations, at the very least. I mean, c'mon. It's unique, it has high multi-path requirements, it's a level eight summon, it wastes tons of precious corpses, and you're guaranteed to lose control of it quickly if you actually make good use of it. I expected the thing to be virtually magic-immune, the sort of thing you'd need one or two proper SCs or artillery mages to bring down.
