Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yo BayLu, I'll PM him about it.

The only way I can think of it as being legal, though, is looking at it like this...there's a difference between summoning a fully-fledged, free-thinking familiar, and then compressing your own spiritual energy into an image of a woman drawn up from your memories, which is what I seem to understand he did. That's why I judge this stuff on a case-by-case basis, because look at it this way:

Using his mana, a person could make a fireball that keeps chasing after his opponent...to blow up on contact or something.

Using his mana, a person could make a fireball that takes the shape of a dragon and keeps chasing after his opponent and throws in the occasional slash or bite...to blow up on contact or something.

A dude could clump together a big boulder of earth and have it roll after his opponent...to explode or whatever.

A dude could clump together a big golem of earth and have it run after his opponent...to explode or whatever.

There really isn't much of a difference between those situations, except that the second ones seem like summons, but aren't really much different than normal attacks. There are some other people that have attacks where they call up shadows to take shapes of animals and they all charge at the opponent, and it wouldn't be any different if the shadows were just...compressed shadow orbs or something.

I'm also allowing people to duplicate themselves, which is sort of what Rovell did, too.

Excuse the long post, but it's just kind of iffy, and the lines between magical attacks, summons, player characters, and non-player characters can be blurry. And the teleport rule pertains moreso to one's actual character, but duplicating oneself doesn't make it anymore legal...so after going through it, I'm thinking he's still in the wrong.

So I'm sending him a PM. :3
