Notes

• Summon Darkglare went through several drastic changes during Legion's development. Originally, the spell summoned an inquisitor, which was later changed to a dreadlord. However, when the build containing the dreadlord version of the spell had gone live on the test realms, the spell had already been changed internally to summon a "beholder" — apparently a demon type of which Durumu the Forgotten was a member. However, this was contradictory of Durumu's previous backstory, and the spell later changed yet again to its final iteration, "Summon Darkglare", with the Durumu-like beholder minion being changed to a new demonic species with little resemblance to Durumu's model.
