Cas said OK how about this then? A powerful spell (IQ 24?) that creates a megahex area (a 'hexagram')where ST cost for spells is halved (minimum of 1). Once cast, the area is immobile and lasts 1 day. This spell can be used to make a VERY expensive magic item that you can put on a carpet and take with you But is (1) very bulky, and (2) takes 3 turns (2 for females) to set up properly with 2 people (you know, straighten the edges and fold out the creases). Thus not too good for combat except an ambush. Or, summoning a magical creature which can cast AID spell and loan ST? High IQ to justify the critters great strength and ability to AID more ST than was used to cast the spell........... Hmmmm...................
Hmmmm???? indeed.
Summon Giant(with aid spell) certainly wouldn't be 4 plus 1 per turn.
Lets see. Drain strength gives one fatigue per five strength drained. A
giant would give 5 points. Exactly what it would cost to summon the giant
on one turn, maintain it, and drain it the next turn. The whole thing would
cost zero fatigue, take two turns, and feature a giant.
A summoned creature that can lend, or even aid, strength has only been
scratched on the surface. I think a demon can bestow an attribute point in
the form of a wish, but that is permanent and no where near the strength it
could aid. I think you are onto something new here. But couldn't it
quickly become self perpetuating. "I summon an aid golem, to summon a
bigger aid golem, to summon a bigger?"
