Hard to word the topic title, but I can explain it better here.
Say you have 12 Death Magic, and have 8 minions, which is the max. If you are hit with something that lowers Death Magic, such as Weakness or Wail of Doom, will you keep your minions, or will one (or all in the case of WoD) die?

I'm guessing it'd be programmed to check your minion limit when you create a minion, not every x milliseconds or whenever your death magic drops. Don't know anything for sure though.

If you have 16 death, 10 minions, then you get hit with [wail of Doom] or take the rune off so it gets lowered the minions will live untill you raise your next minion.

You can use Wail of Doom like an interrupt on MMs, while they cast their minion spells, if you land it before they finish all but the new minion dies.

Yes to what?

So if you summon a new one while affected, the excess will die. If that happens when you create one, I would think the excess would not die if just one died?

I'd probably agree with that, sometimes I run dual MM, checking if that is true would be a pain so I'll just agree, but I'm pretty sure that having you're stats temp. lowered will just mean you'll give birth to a lower level minion til it wears off. I don't think it's level will jump up and down based on what afflictions you are suffering after it's birth/creation. Although, AOE spells will probably have an effect on them too

Ps. Maybe we should all read Frankenstein again

I will make it as simple as possible by describing the available situations.

1. You have 16 Death Magic and have 10 summoned minions.
2. You remove your superior death magic scar so now you have 12 Death Magic.
3. You still have 10 minions.
4.1. You summon a new minion, for a sec you have 11 then 3 instantly die so now you have 8.
4.2. If you summoned two then you will have 12 for a sec then 4 instantly die so now you have 8.

They will still live.
