 Summon Small Mammal is a level 1 spell; it can kill most things on the early Dungeon floors. But, as it creates [[summon]]s, it can remain useful for a while longer:

-*Summon Small Mammal is only a level 1 spell, but it stays useful for a short while in the early-game. Packs of mammals can quite handily defeat most normal threats in the dungeon up until the [[Ecumenical Temple]]. Even after the spell loses its killing power, it is still a cheap and useful means of making a disposable ally -- even having an ally block an enemy for a single turn is enough to let you gain some distance before heading upstairs.
+Summon Small Mammal is a level 1 spell; it can kill most things on the early Dungeon floors. But, as it creates [[summon]]s, it can remain useful for a while longer:
-*Summon Small Mammal also comboes well with [[Inner Flame]]; having an ally carry the enchantment gives you more control over where the explosion takes place (and therefore more leeway to escape the blast radius).
+*By swapping places with a summon, you create a space (while avoiding [[attacks of opportunity]]). This can let you [[pillar dance]] any 10-speed melee enemy.
