[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 1962580, member: 18549"] Well, it's a helpful reminder for those characters who might be immune to all effects with the mind-affecting descriptor, but not to effects from the enchantment school specifically, even though all enchantment effects have that descriptor, since there are effects from other schools that also have that descriptor. As far as creating a Necromancy (calling) spell, take notice of the fact that there is no official spell anywhere that mixes up subschools from different schools, owing to the definition of the notion of subschool. Take, for example, Summon Undead (Libris Mortis). While you might think that this would be a Necromancy (summoning) spell, it's not. Since summoning is a subschool of Conjuration, the spell must be a Conjuration (summoning) spell. And it is. There are no Necromancy (summoning) spells, because summoning is not a subschool of Necromancy. If there were a single spell in the entire lexicon of official spells that had a subschool assigned to a school to which it doesn't belong, there might be an argument against this point. But there's not, so there isn't. You might also notice that aside from the description of the subschool, there is nowhere else in the rules where the word "compulsion" is defined. Since the only game term definition is the name of the subschool, it can be assumed that all use of the term refers to that definition, unless otherwise noted. [/QUOTE]
