Oh well someone’s gotta take care of the magical creations and naval events while everyone is warring.

Has the summon spell been changed and what is the new wording?

It's on the wizard spell page.

Looks like it's changed. If you look at the first post here where he lists the change proposal and then just a very quick check of the Wizard Realm Spell page it looks like they match.

Summoning
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Regency: 4RP/unit
Gold: 2GB/unit
Duration: 1 Turn + 1 Action/level
Using a powerful summoning spell, a wizard creates an army to do his bidding. At third level, a Wizard can summon 2x Gnollish Irregulars, at sixth level she could summon 2x Orog Infantry or Archers, or 4 Gnollish Irregulars, and at 9th: 2 Stonecrown Ogres, or 4 Orogs, or 6 Gnolls. At 12th, 4 Stonecrown Ogres, 6 Orogs, or 8 Gnolls.The army is available to defend where they are summoned the action they are summoned, but cannot move until the following action.

Considering restructuring it, though, to "summoning Points" that can be spent on different tiers of units.

Something like: 2 points per caster-level; each gnoll irregular = 3 points, each Orog = 5 points, each Stonecrown Ogre = 8 points
Cost:
1RP per 2 summon points, plus 1RP per 2 units (2 Stonecrown = 16pts, and 2 units == 9RP; 6 Irregulars = 18pts, and 6 units == 14RP)
1GB per 4 summon points, plus 1GB per 2 units (2 Stonecrown = 16pts, and 2 units == 5GB; 6 Irregulars = 18pts, and 6 units == 8GB)

New rules being flexed already! For those participating: does it feel balanced?

Not sure if anyone has used the spell yet.

Well, I think it might be pretty obvious that people have done so, though. Like, at least twice?

Many Gnoll irregulars around but not sure if they are summoned

What? Where? Surely not all those gnoll irregulars popping up everywhere?
