Summary

0011480: Summoning spells' descriptions state "up to X creatures" when what is really meant is "up to X packs"

Description

For spells like summon horrible things, shadow creatures and monstrous menagerie, where multiple enemies are always or sometimes summoned at once, the description's note about summon cap states, for example for shadow creatures, "You can sustain up to four creatures summoned by this spell". This is inaccurate and what is really meant is "up to four packs of creatures" or "up to four casts".
