This is more of a utility spell than a flat-out offensive spell, as the monsters it summons don't dish out that much damage, even in a good-sized group.  However, their sheer numbers and not-terrible defenses mean that most monsters will take a considerable amount of time to grind through them all, often buying the caster valuable time to escape or use [[smite-targeted]] attacks with less fear of repercussion.  Think of it as a version of [[Summon Butterflies]], except the butterflies have more durability and can occasionally even kill things.
