Feature Request: Smite-targeted Rod of Shadows
Regardless, most Summoning spells create allies adjacent-to or 1-space away from the player. There is only one Summoning spell that air-drops summons onto the the enemy (Haunt), and it's disliked by the good gods. Certainly Summon Dragon does something similar with the Dragoncall status, but this is not instantaneous.
Monsters have player-targeting summon spells which air-drop enemies adjacent to the player either from throughout the level, or by transporting monsters adjacent. Additionally, Shadow Trap does this.
I think it conceivable that Rod of Shadows can be set further apart from "Shadow Creatures" by making the Rod smite-targeted, allowing one to summon monsters to specific locations in view, rather than adjacent to the player.
Did I make a lame complaint? Check for Bingo!
