The phraseology doesn't particularly concern me. There are more things wrong with epic spellcasting than the simple problems you spoke of.Doesn't work. You can use the Epic Commander epic feat, or simply hire more spellcasters. The returns cannot be understated, and far outweigh the results you get by investing your resources in any other way.I didn't say that creatures were summoned. I said that you stored your followers, or cohorts or whatever on a demiplane. That's for protection.Ultimately, the biggest breaks for epic spells come in getting buffs that cannot be dispelled, because you amp the spellcaster level behind the spell to obscene levels, nor Disjunctioned because you guard yourself against that, too. The only thing that can get rid of them is a similarly designed and equally borked epic dispel, and really, how many times can you use that without straining credibility?The difficulty of casting epic spells isn't measured in ranks. It's measured in the spellcraft DC of the spell you're casting.</blockquote>
