What was that? Looks like you put it in the right subforum.

I think that there should be a balance about how many spawnpoint can one mage gets. Give this to necromancer. Libro Murtos + Summoning portal and skeleton/zombie swarm will dominate arena :)

Spawnpoints, or any extra action generators, hit a point of diminishing returns. It'd be great that a Necro could cast 4 undead in one round, but where is he getting the mana for that? He's spent over 30 setting up his spawnpoints by then.

Now I'm not saying that Mages should be given tons of spawnpoints, but I'm just pointing out the big hurdle when trying to use all of them.

An additional point is spell book construction.  Each mage still only has 120 points to build his book.  Additional spawn points use up that allotment, removing space for the creatures which it summons.

As written, this would be possibly the best creature spawnpoint in the game. Most spawnpoints are restricted to a certain type of creature, and the broader the type, the greater the other restrictions (for instance, Gate to Voltari is currently the broadest spawnpoint, able to summon any creature from the arcane school, but requires 3 mana--though this is admittedly pretty easy to get.) And for just 10 mana?

Also, Novice is probably not a trait that you want to put on a level 4 spell.

So something like this?



Similar name/theme, but not a spawnpoint since it provides no action. I think the OP wants an action generator.
