Shoudl the [Getpet command also pull in summoned things like EVs;  You are not allowed to have EVs in the city but you can use getpet to bring them into the guard zone.

The [getpet command is fraught with issues. I've suggested before that it should be re-implemented as a stone, like the corpse stone. Doing so would be a straight forward way to prevent many of the problems that arise from being able to teleport your pets to you any place, any time.

As for the EVs, I agree. Uncontrolled summons should be exempt from [getpet.

Energy vortices. Blade spirits would be another example of an uncontrolled summon.

Many EV summoned from Vortex strike Rune are invisible, the only way (and expensive) to recover them is with [getpet, otherwise you need page to delete them.

Oh!  Thanks... wow, didn't know there was so much trouble with casting that.... (not a real good mage here).  Okay, bowing out... thanks for answering my question. :)

That's no good. Sounds like the code for vortex strike needs to be debugged. There's no reason to need to use [getpet to "re-summon" the EVs.

I Agree with you Minos, but is the only way to recover them and mass dispel ( without staff intervention). Is a Quick , but expensive solution.
