Default Re: Summon Scout Spell--No Birds?

So perhaps the reasoning is that the Wizard is a mammal, therefore the summoned Scout must be one too. Perhaps non-mammalian brains are just too different, and incompatible for sensory linkage with a mammalian Wizard.

And if that's the case, perhaps a reptilian Wizard who uses the same spell can only summon small reptiles: geckos and iguanas and such.

Hmmm… What about salamanders? Are amphibians too different from reptiles? That might be worth another debate…
I like this way of thinking quite a bit.

In Kelly's TFT game we've been playing in recently, we've encountered some foreign reptile man wizards and they indeed have been summoning various types of reptiles to attack us.
