This behavior often causes pre-existing Shadow Creatures summons to time out as well, meaning with one cast you can lose both all of your existing summons and the newly generated ones. It would be nice if the spell didn't spawn bands anymore or at least checked each summon one at a time, leaving partial bands behind.

Or just rise summoning cap for Shadow Creatures to fit in any pack. And if you recast it after hitting a cap, then only part of the pack should get abjured.

Fixed by making band members not count towards the summon cap (and reducing the spell's cap slightly). Maybe there's a better way to handle it but this seems better than it just not functioning as a summon spell some of the time.
