Summoning Speculation

[Silver363]

There have been many rumors on summoning floating around, and for me it's the most anticipated update in a long while. I don't know if it should be a whole skill itself, or if more spells should be added into the magic menu. I've come up with this vague "idea" on how they might implement the summoning spells (or skill?).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They could be sorted into groups by power, the less powerful they are, the lower the magic requirement to summon the creature. For example, at lvl 2 magic, you could summon an Air Imp, and at lvl 6 you could summon a Water imp (if you haven't noticed, this is in relation to the "Strike Spells"). At a later level, you could summon more powerful creatures (bolt spells). With level 18 magic, for instance, you could summon an Air Elemental, or some other creature that is known or yet to be found in the Runescape world. Whether or not these spells would require a quest to be completed, or some item to summon, I have no idea. This is just all wild speculation. Any thoughts, ideas, or input is welcome.

I'm pretty sure if summoning/necromancy/the lost/dark arts do come out, they're either going to be gimmicky (useless), or they'll be added on to the ancient spell list to even things out more and associated with magic. The ancient spells only have one major use, that's for pking/dueling. And maybe for easier teleports if you're slaying. I think there could be an add on with summoning skills to that magic set to make it more useful like the current magic set is. The icons are pretty big compared to the normal set's icons of spells, so that could be another reason to even things out.

I think due to the last quest, it will be coming out tomorrow, and if not, then it will be in a month, or two. It just seems like a set-up for a story line, to me. They started up a story with the Zogre quest, then they'll add on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm just hoping it'll be useful. The only thing I can think low level stuff would be useful for is like...Having a little imp you summon or something to carry a few items for you or something, lol. I mean it's not like they can fight with you...They'd be like level 5. :P

Yea, I was pretty dissapointed when I discovered the Desert Treasure reward was a new spell book. I never PK. :?

Imps are useful mercenarys if you are lvl 3 yourself, nechryaels can summon etc.. skeletons and demons have been hinted about from jagex etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I can "summon" monkeys.

[Sy_Accursed]

I think summoning could be good as its onw skill or as magic. If as magic I think it will be a case of having say a demon summon spell etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they r all low lvl spells but as u get higher magic they summon better monsters ie for demon summon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

imp

 

 

 

lesser

 

 

 

greater

They'd have to bring out a weaker demon, imagine PKing and sum necromancer summons 12 lessers or greaters on you...

No offence but oyu obviously didn;t quite read tht in my idea this wasy a demon summoning spell

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in my way it would be say 3 mage to cast, at 40 u got lessers instead of imps, 65 for greaters and 80 for black

[cya_tremend]

Good idea, I would have never thought of it... Oh wait I did..... I think I was like the first person to come up with the idea...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its sortof my idea that I had a while back called summoning.

 

 

 

You can summon certian monsters at certian levels...For example,lvl 2 is imps, 10 is dark magicians, 30 is dwarves, 50 is lesser demons, 80 greater deamons, 90 black dragons, 99 KBD's...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good idea though, same concept

Just wanted to say that... Also it is a good idea..

ehh... bs_johannes, how do you 'summon' monkeys? lol im confused...

[thunderg_cid]

I posted something like this a couple days ago. I called it something like Angels/Demons. Instead of summoning, you pretty much had a helper with you. A few of them were for pking, these other things for other stuff. It would be better if you could use those 12 greater demons in wildy though.
