 This is one of the most powerful Summonings spells in the game. It has a high summon cap and summons multiple, relatively powerful, monsters at a time. Large abominations hit fairly hard, dealing up to 40 damage per hit. Tentacled monstrosities deal more damage, are resistant to many elements, and [[constriction|constrict]] foes, drastically reducing their [[ev]]asion.
-The Doom penalty discourages this spell from constantly being used. Since sources of Doom are fairly rare in [[Vaults]], [[Depths]], and [[Zot]] (unless [[orb of entropy|orbs of entropy]] are chosen), the chance of actually receiving a bane is low unless the player choses to.
+The Doom penalty discourages this spell from constantly being used. Note that sources of Doom are relatively rare in [[Vaults]], [[Depths]], and [[Zot]] (unless [[orb of entropy|orbs of entropy]] are present) - the places where this spell is most likely to be castable - so the chance of actually receiving a bane is low with careful management.
