That said, a 10% chunk is...going to make mind control spells near impossible at high levels and very difficult at low levels. A 100 CP sapient critter is going to add +30 energy (10 x 3 for a Greater effect) and that's just to get a cop or EMT to do what you want. Going with that model it's mostly animals that are going to be easily controlled and breaking into someone's mind is gonna be hard.

Very good observation, and why I came here before going forward -- the summoning example looks to be where i'll go, although ill still need to know the CP of something. Fortunately, I tend to do that with the critters i create. And yes, its oh so slow, lol
