Remove summons from Wz/Cj/IE/AE starting books
Wz - has Conjure Flame a.k.a. the best conjuration spell in the game and is still defined by imps instead
Cj - fulminant prism has (at least the pretense of) a unique gimmick, nobody uses it because battlesphere exists
IE - summon ice beast is all people talk about, even though throw frost and throw icicle are very good
AE - the AE change is what prompted me to make this post.
I'll excuse Ne for now because it's not clear to me what the gameplay objective of the Necromancy school is, Tm because its summon is at least consumable, and Sk because the rest of the background actually works alongside the summon.
I suggest the following replacements:
Book of Minor Magic (Wz): None needed because the book would still have 6 spells. If you want a replacement anyway, Passwall is appropriate as it fits the theme of spell school diversity.
Book of Conjurations (Cj): Force Lance. Alternatively, none, as the book would still have 5 spells.
Book of Frost (IE): Ice Form.
Book of Air (AE): I would much rather have Airstrike or Mephitic Cloud in this than lightning spire. Hell, I would rather reintroduce Repel Missiles than have lightning spire in this book, and I really hate Repel Missiles existing, as you all know.
