Summoner Magic evolutions

[Flamephoenix182]

Hi all,

has anyone ever made use of the ultimate magic, Spell like evolution (minor magic, major magic etc..) I like the idea of having an eidolon with spell-likes, especially for when your trying to make an eidolon who isn't just about natural attacking. However then seem quite weak for the evolution point costs, has anyone had any success with these?

Well, just throwing this out there, but they could have another use. SLAs qualify you for spellcasting feats, so you could possibly take arcane strike and gain a decent boost to damage...on your purely naturally attacking build...hah..

Anyway, minor magic looks like it could be useful, since it has obscuring mist, silent image, and vanish as options. Obscuring mist has the most combat potential (total concealment? On a creature with the ability to get tremor sense, blindsense, or blind sight? Yes please! Especially since you get total concealment 5 feet away, and you can get reach) , while the other two seem more useful for roguish trickery. With the option to get them 3 times a day, that leaves a lot of room for you to make standardized tactics.

Hmm I hadn't thought of that. I may have to take a closer look at the spell list and see how the eidolons other abilities may affect the spells...

Thanks
