For some reason, I have become unable to summon monsters. When I cast a summoning spell, it tells me that I can only control 5, despite the fact that I don't have any monsters currently summoned. I'm guessing a variable isn't getting decremented somewhere, but I have no idea where to look for that counter, or even if it's something I can change.

Still, having a conjurer in the party is pretty worthless if he can't, you know, summon things :D. Any ideas?
Just because I'm paranoid does not mean the world isn't out to get me!!

I've heard, you get this message too, if you left summoned creatures in other areas, because they don't go with you into another area. If you leave an area, your summons are still there until the summon-time went off. Therefore you can't summon new ones in another area until the old ones are gone. Could it be, that you have left existing summons behind you?

A Megamod does not mean that you can play all of the mods or all of their content,
but you have more choices or paths through the game.

Not unless I have summons lasting for days at a time. The last time I was successfully able to summon something was several (game) days ago.
