Guh. For some reason, my mind just jumped right by that post without seeing it. Too many hours in a law office this week...

Another weak national summon, maybe? I feel like I'm hogging up all the requests. Someone else feel free to be more creative in that regard. ;-)

EDIT: Also, LA Man is called Chelms.

I'd bettter give you time to look at all the goodies, then. I'll give you one more national summon, but this time, I don't think it's going to be a weak one.

C'tis can summon Devourer of Souls, the crocodile-headed being that eats the souls of sinners. Conj 9 national spell, D6, 30 gems. I'll give you a hint: it's big. I think it's a unique summon; it isn't mentioned, but it very much looks and feels like a unique being.
C'tis and few other nations can summon Scorpion Men. Conj 8, EF, 12 gems. "The Scorpion Man is the most frightening beast that wanders in the desert. It is said that when a Scorpion Man looks at a mountain, the mountain shivers in fear."

Choose one.

Devourer of Souls. Totally.

Oh, and The Visitor is really, really pretty. I want one.

Scorpion men!

Hmm, that sounds like an old description. I'd better take a look.

It's the spell's desription.

Aha. I guess the Gilgamesh reference is lost in the spell then. Pity.

Mmm, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Babylonian or was it Sumerian mythology? ( Weren't Babylonian & Mithraism based on Sumerian? )

Hmmm. Was the Visitor the spell that had a Gilgamesh reference? Only one I noticed that might've been it, but that concept comes up pretty often in legend/myth/SF.

I don't know about the myth, but I thought the spell in question was Scorpion Men.

Thanks, Meglobob! One Devourer of Souls coming in!

Uuuuus? I don't know him. Is he a Caveman?

One vote for Devourer, one vote for Scorpion Man, and one of you has already confessed of hogging up all the requests. I'd better wait for few more opinions now. In fact, I could go to sleep and give everyone a fair chance of vote.

BTW, Nature has interesting summons nowadays. You know Swarm, right? Did you notice the strange new creature on the very end of the Dom2 unit lists? I'll give you two more hints: 2 gems and 70+ effects.
Also, was there a 100-animal version of Summon Animals in Dom2?
