Summoning Themes

Arkov
chaosprism 1) I was just wandering which domains had summoning themes associated with them so far?
This is something to discover in-game.

Out of curiosity why?

I'd think any priest who followed a diety would know these things. At least the common examples. Kossuth's clerics likely can summon fire elementals. It's not a huge shocker there.

If Ibrandul's clerics actually summon Killer Clowns, I could see that not being something widely known. Its kind of like saying "Find out in game what the Fire Domain does". At least, as I understand it.

I am reluctant to explicitly list the themes, since I think it's more interesting when there's a certain amount of mystery about exactly what summoning themes are available. Also, this list isn't necessary complete; I'm still tweaking these and adding other themes, so I'm reluctant to put up a listing before I can guarantee that it'll be accurate for any length of time.

However, at popular demand:

Fire Domain - Fire elementals. Water Domain - Water elementals. Air Domain - Air elementals. Earth Domain - Earth elementals (and related).

Undeath Domain - Undead (incorporeal). Spider Domain - Spiders. Ooze Domain - Oozes. Darkness Domain - Shadows. Illusion Domain - Illusory monsters.

Thanks, that's more or less what I felt would be common knowledge. I know some of the more secretive themes and they definitely are something to discover in game.
