My impatience is due to my enthusiasm for the project.Ok here are the questions that I have posted in the last few days:  1) I have got the idea from somewhere that when a Mage uses his Summon Elemental spell he summons the same one each time, and has to build up a relationship with the elemental .Now, what happens when a Mage blows a series of Magic Points on summoning several elementals of the same type in the same combat encounter?2) Any ideas on how to cast Summon Swarm and Insect Plague using Elements of Magic?My initial thought was Evoke Area Biomatter, but this doesn't really have the same effect - Although you could summon a swarm of biting and stinging insects who then dissipate I suppose...3) If a mage warded an area to stop a group of Orcs and Ogres from stealing an important magic item and a Mindflayer also arrived in the monstrous raiding party and also tried to steal the item.The Orcs and Ogres would have to make a saving throw to enter the warded area.The Mind Flayer wouldn't - he is an aberration.The PC group would have to make a saving throw to enter the area in order to reach the item before the Mind Flayer.The caster would presumably not have to make a saving throw to enter the warded area?4) The Sight spell mentions that it cannot effect Phantasms because they effect the mind. Where is the Phantasm spell or effect ?5) The Wall [Element] list neglects to state what the Hardness and Hps of a wall are... I need to know how long it will take a berserk orc with a greataxe to hack through a wall of air 6) I have had a look at Comprehend Languages and Tongues and these are my thoughts:CL allows you to understand writing or the speech of either an object or a person you touch. Its a 1st Level spellSo, I think a 1 MP ability of Decipher script and a 1st level Polymorph Sound effect is the way to go. It reduces the duration of the core spell, but thats the breaksTongues is all over the place level wise (Brd 2, Clr 4, Wiz/Sor 3) but as written it serves as a level 3 spell.Secret Page could presumably be achieved by a 3rd level Polymorph [Biomatter] spell?7) Would Infuse Creature With Life cause enhanced natural attacks to actually heal some damage? or could it be an effect similar to the Positive Plane detailed in the MotP, a burst of cell growth that causes tumors or something...Also I suppose that the AC enhancement of the ability could be a form of regeneration that heals some of the damage?8) Not my question, but how would you cast Enlarge and Reduce using EOM?9) Could Summon Natures Ally not be replicated using the Companion Animal list? If you gave the list a secondary effect somewaht like the Summon lists would this not do the job?10) Companion [Creature] I am a bit confused on this one. If you have Companion [Animal] and no other Companion [Creature] list you can only have 1 HD of companion per spellcasting level (+ a similar level of Animal HD back home playing guard dog.If you have two Companion [Creature] lists (say Animal and Beast), then you can have up to 1HD per level in each category. So A 1st level Green Mage with these lists could have a Badger and Stirge companion, plus another Stirge and a Monkey back at his home base.Where I get confused is the text on page 66 that states that a typical starting companion [creature] is a 2HD Wolf. What am I missing/not understanding?Also I was expecting that this list would give you the ability to Awaken a Companion Creature... I suppose that Alter Reality could be used to do this very slowly or there might be something later that I haven't seen yet.Blimey thats a lot of questions isn't it, sorry <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
