* Because control magic has been strengthened in the patches leading up to version 22.58, Kizuami believers can now safely use pets and summons with area of effect attacks like hounds, wisps and shadows without fear of being accidentally hit. | * Because control magic has been strengthened in the patches leading up to version 22.58, Kizuami believers can now safely use pets and summons with area of effect attacks like hounds, wisps and shadows without fear of being accidentally hit. | ||
* Kogitsunemaru is a strong god artifact; however, it places severe restrictions on the player, which no other god artifact does. Kizuami appreciates mortals who are clever enough to thrive despite or even get around his rules: | * Kogitsunemaru is a strong god artifact; however, it places severe restrictions on the player, which no other god artifact does.

** In order to make the most of Kogitsunemaru's bonuses, the player should have as many allies and summons as possible and should take feats relating to such. However, this also precludes the use of lonely soul. | ** In order to make the most of Kogitsunemaru's bonuses, the player should have as many allies and summons as possible and should take feats relating to such.

**** Shadows are useful as a main attack spell for the summoner. Since the buffs to control magic, Kizuami believers can use shadows safely. They do not only deal area of effect damage, but can be summoned beforehand in anticipation of incoming enemies. Anyone who has fought executioners will understand how deadly a swarm of shadows can be. | **** Shadows are useful as a main attack spell for the summoner.
