Why the "Duration" on summoned units? I simply don't get it, it used to be the bread and butter of my Summoners, and that got nerfed? I'd understand if Alchemy Golems got duration, but seriously? even undead? conjured units? blerg! this is starting to look like your common RTS RPG game, please revert it, I can't make do without these patches, but that duration changes to summoned units really got it down for me :(

I'm hating it, reallly, I know it can be a "Rush abusive" feature, but it was everything for me, I am a archmage, I spend precious time on my alchemy item creation, and I need these summoned units to protect my home... last time I checked It helped me a lot when up against Plaguelords abusive usage of Bone Catapults, why not nerf them catapults, instead of the magic duration? I understand some spheres are really bad planned and could surely use a beef, but duration on summoned units? I don't think they ever planned that...

I have some suggestions for the Alchemy sphere tho,

"Summon golem", renamed to "Create Golem, with a chance of Stone or Iron Golem, or 3 spider mines", without the current "duration" system.

Brew Potion surely could use a Mana Potion gain randomly.

Create items are dictated by aligment? level?

Spellforge isn'tt fit for a pinnacle spell, and it needs some tweaking, alchemy is supposed to control the elements, create or destroy accordly, wouldn't it be best if spellforge was swap'd with Elementalism? Yes, I know that would make the Alchemy sphere a more "Summoning" type, but spellforge isn't that great, 70 mana cost I thought it used to be.

I tend to use a lot the Archmage class, because of all the tools, but some races... specially the Knights should get different spells in that class archetype. Instead of Conjuration, they get either Time or Arcane, wasn't High Elves supposed to loathe on Conjuration too? I wonder why they can summon demons at will.

Undead archmages should have "Divination" swap with "Chaos"

Almost the same with the Necromancer class, they could take advantage of the Chaos Magic added to them

When I first looked the Archmage class, wasn't that class supposed to have all Magic spheres? quite a lot of the spheres are repetitive, Divination and Conjuration had the same "Banish" spell, but for Divination it used to be a lot cheaper. That class surely could use Arcane magic.

Thanks for your time.
