Hi i am fairly new i just started the game and i was wondering is it possible to summon more than one monster at a time? I have the ghost and undead but when i try and summon them both the 1st one always dissapears. So can i summon all the monsters at once and keep them in play? Also what is a good stat build for a pure priest/mage?

You can have the necromancer creature and a summon active at the same time, but not multiple summons, AFAIK. I believe the demon is generally considered the best for combat; the ghost can be helpful, but isn't necessarily going to decide to heal you when you want it to. I haven't seen much support for any other summons (haven't tried any of them myself, playing a warrior, though the creature has come in handy).

The official "ULTIMATE MAGE" guide - not exactly what you want to build, but relatively close

I got my creature just after I hit level 13, and didn't have too much trouble. The black ring soldiers north of there were challenging in groups on at level 12, but if you avoided them I don't think it would be terribly difficult to get the creature about level 10. It would help if you knew where you were going, perhaps keeping to the river to avoid opponents, but I don't recall what level the undead were in the mine, that you need to defeat to get the crystal skull.

Level 10 is about right to go for the mine, you'll have a passable chance of survival. But try to avoid combat as much as possible on the way there and back, though.

Dedicated summoner build isn't terribly fun, since you can only have 1 summoned monster at a time (an undead, a ghost or a demon), and your creature.

That's not to say it doesn't work... your creature and your demon can absolutely rape everything in sight late in the game (my demon killed one of the flying fortress generals in under ten seconds). So, technically you need a lot of mana, Summon Demon and a good creature... and Hide in Shadows. Pop the summons, pop the invis and watch the action from the sidelines.

But unless you pitch in with your own attacks, it is slow and boring. And when your summon expires and your creature gets killed, you have a lot of downtime.

It is a good thing in case of high need smile ... then the Demon and/or Creature come in handy to help you out of trouble delight !

I used not many times the summon skills and my creature.

Question:
all the enemies that the Demon killed .. goes the XP points to the hero or not?

You do still get the experience if a summon or your creature defeats an opponent.
