Kiku + Summon Horrible things

[arcanist]

Hello.
Recently I found out that Kiku accepts kills made by abominations created by Summon Horrible things spell. Is it working as intended or a bug? Since technikally abominations summoned by summon horrible things are demons...

They're undead and evil, but not demons.

Actually thematically they are both undead and demonic, but demonic + undead is the same as undead for gameplay.

Stop racial segregation of abominations.

There's no gain in having demonic vs undead ones, and plenty of confusion.
They're now both theme-wise (undead material, demonic control+alterations),
and undead code-wise since MH_UNDEAD|MH_DEMONIC is strictly the same as
MH_UNDEAD currently.

Also their descriptions say so.

It's not quite the same - Trog gives piety for killing abominations, and he doesn't give piety for killing plain undead (unless they have spells).

Does Trog give piety on mummy priests nowdays? Because on 0.10 they didn't yield the "trog appreciates killing of the magic user" message eventhough they clearly fit the profile.

No, it's not marked as a spellcaster. (A lot of "priest" types aren't.)

Priests aren't exactly casting spells - they are asking gods to cast spells for them.

If you wear-ID an amulet of faith, you can screw yourself though!

I clearly did not post that where I thought I did. Sorry.

Yeah, I've probably heard this before but I always get confused when clearing Tomb with a character of Trog (greater mummies vs mummy priest spellsets being identical and all).
