So, someone PR'd a few updates for my Arcana mod repo, which is good since I've been barred from the CDDA repo and thus won't learn about stuff being changed. I'm now doing some fuckery of my own to make summoning suck less ass.
Namely, summoning blank bodies and flaming eyes maybe have to go. Blank bodies are stupidly weak and won't attack, while flaming eyes will only use their attack on the player, if hostile. Uncertain what'd be good choices of comparable monster difficulty.
