ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'd like to suggest making this a sustain, at least the summoning part of it.

It's a nice QoL compared to old demonologist that lets you use the actual summons in combat more than for gimmick stuff since it summons for "free" every fight, but there's way too many downsides to these summons as it stands.

For example if you summon a Daelach, it has a biting gale rune that it'll use on first turn(well sometimes), applying wet and good chance of freezing you if it spawned behind you. If you summon a General of Unrok, if you hit it with any sort of aoe spell damage(including stuff like fire ground from Tendrils or shadow ground stuff and such that is hard to control), it'll apply it's Spell Feedback prodigy to you. If you summon a Thaurereg it'll sometimes cast a blizzard storm thing that while it does 0 damage, still can freeze you if you're not stun capped/wet. The unique seeds also have plenty of skills that hit allies although I'm not sure of the full list(I want to say Corrupted Negation still hits you but the change to it not hitting yourself might also make it ignore you as an ally, not sure of that one but then you have stuff like Illuminate tagging you with dazzled and such). They also constantly eat your counterstrikes with their 0damage aoes.

So the summons are pretty cool but sometimes detrimental and a way to turn them off would help with that when you have too many equipped that are not good for you. Obviously they could also be coded in a way that they can't hit you with anything but I feel that would be too much of a buff since they are very potent.

One side benefit of being able to turn it off I'm seeing with this save is you run into the same issue as Possessor to a lesser extent, my save is way bloated(I just came back from the east and it's already 140mb when most of my winners are around 50-60mb) and I have to reboot every hour or so because it just slows down as I play. It'd also be nice to be able to not have some demons take damage from random trash and absorbing heals and instead just let me heal the one demon I want to rez/get back to full.

Can I see your save please ?
Demon summoning doesnt clone anything actually so I'm a little surprised
(and possessors shouldbt fixed for 1.7 too ...)

I made another post in the bugs forum about it, I finished the game and the filesize at the end was 300mb, which is substantially bigger than other saves. I ran into a lot of technical issues in the lategame with this char tbh, so not too sure what was going on. I zipped it and uploaded it to googledrive, I think this should work, I can send it to you over Discord or something else if needed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JyeIlh ... sp=sharing

Just make sure you rename the save to just Pyros if you want to load it up ingame(I add the class/status to the directory name since all my chars are named Pyros and I put the saves in a different place as a backup once I'm done playing them). I don't know if you'll get the issue, but you can try going to Grushnak pride where I didn't kill a bunch of stuff and see if you get the horrible 2-3sec lags after every action I was getting.

Regardless of the issue though, making it toggleable would be pretty great due to the other issues I mentionned. You said you fixed the bug with Concordat not rezing seeds equipped in my report about that but honestly I ended up abusing that a lot to have equipped seed that didn't summon annoying stuff. For example Walrog will just spam you with pins and freezes which makes him basically unusable as a seed without killing him, but I liked the Frostfire Nova effect.
