PSA: Summon Skeleton lets you summon lots of skeletons

[Duckie]

I have been playing (and dying) hundreds of times but there are some abilities I never really used. I just discovered that when you cast Summon Skeleton (Necromancer, 14 Int) it reduces your max mana by 4 until that skeleton dies, but that appears to be the only limit to how many skeletons you can have

Also, you can swap places with a skeleton by moving to its tile (haven't tested if this works with other summons) so they don't get in your way too much except for your ranged attacks. I believe the skeleton still gets its turn when you do this so it can potentially move 2 spaces in one turn, maybe more if you abuse sprint points?

I have only ever won twice. A few patches ago I had a warrior win, and recently I won with a barbarian who had a lot of storm magic. But I'm still having fun. It's nice to be able to be like the necromancer from Diablo 2 again

For your information, if you have perfect aim you can shoot over your summons/allies (and also over enemies) with ranged weapons (both magic scaling and ranged scaling).
