I agree!
Necros get benefits from their forms, why not mages when polymorphed?
I like the idea of summoning a Poison Ele too. Currently, besides EV...summoning as a mage is pretty useless.
When was the last time you saw someone actually summon a water ele to use in a fight?
This is something the devs should look at. Summons need to be more powerful than they are.
An idea - combine the Summon ______ Elemental spells into a single spell...Summon Elemental.
Based on your skill points in various other skills (poisoning, etc) your type of ele summoned would change.
I'd love to see mages summoning Blood and Poison Eles. Even maybe throw in a mining tie in to summon various ore eles?
If you have more than one cross skill...use a selection gump, instead of randomly having the game pick.
Also...still championing the 120 mage/120 Spellweaving = Balron summoning idea here!
