[Suspicious]

Invocations are ludicrously powerful despite their investment. If it should be a 'sure thing' anyway, Ryu, why even make them breakable?

Also, you should be casting an invocation from a safe distance, not drop it in the middle of a fight with no one to take hits for you. That's the intention of the damage requirement.

Also also, are you serious about talent points? It is STUPID easy to max everything you need and then just waste your points in other areas before level 40. 5 points is not an 'investment', it's a piddling 'requirement', because you likely don't care about axe/sword/spear/whatever mastery, and most melees don't care for enchanting or most of the 'ancys' and such.
