It's about the fact that it is a serious professional liability (and occasionally a social one) to be known as a gamer, even casually. I can think of at least two people I know who love gaming, and do not want a word of it breathed about them outside the confines of their homes, for fear it would inhibit their career aspirations. Whether or not this is true is irrelevant, but I don't think they're wrong; in their fields, it would be problematic. It's great how far the hobby (especially video gaming) has come in terms of legitimacy, but there's still a cost for some people in some places. That's what the question is meant to evoke.

I think there are too many to list as a blog post -- there are about 4x the summonings as there are spells because spells are kind of dull. I am going to post some choice ones as conversion, though. I will eventually translate them all once I settle on the best way to do wordpress-wiki integration. Nephilim summonings are just the best. Because saying "I go summon the Ministers of Reflection, be right back" is excellent in a game sense.

Or both? Because, man. Some of those names are just awesome. Is there a canonical list of the horrible horrible summoned things with their awesome names, or some sort of make-your-own name generator?
